Tuesday.Technology || Personal Mobility Devices Are Out of Control!
You may have seen the silly Puma that GM/Segway created, but that’s just the tip of the what-the-heck-is-that personal mobility device iceberg. Check out these other ridiculous gadgets:
First, the GM/Segway Puma
Toyota iReal
The PMD most similar to the Puma is this one, by Toyota. If you’ve seen the movie Wall-E you’ll no doubt see the resemblance between the iReal and the devices used by the overweight humans.
Honda U3-X
As if the iReal wasn’t absurd enough, now we have this creation by Honda. If you’ve ever wanted to awkwardly squat on a motorized unicycle, then this is the gadget for you.
Honda’s Robot Legs
To top it all off, there are the Honda robot legs, that admirably enough, aim to make factory workers INTO robots rather than replace them BY robots.
