scannon Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 http://www.flixxy.com/honda-u3-x-personal-mobility-device.htm Looks like a fun and useful tool. I hope they produce and sell it for a reasonable price.
twobone Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Definitly cool. Very useful for those with mobility issues. Also a bit scary. I sit in my office all day. What if I never stood up? If I wanted to go see my boss I would just glide over... I just worry about these kinds of devices making our kids and our kid's kids chunky-monkeys
JohnK Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 That is an amazing piece of research and development. I'd love to see an overview of the control algorithm. Fuzzy logic, maybe? Twobone: And then there's the guy, a really smart, high-achiever*, who bought the Segway company from the inventor, took one of the All-Terrain versions out into the boonies and drove the thing off the side of a cliff killing himself. *I was gonna say "high-roller" but that would have been too far out ;-)
