RMP by Segway
Lets face it walking sucks! Most people don’t even know how to do it properly. Shufflers, bouncers, excessive arm swingers, non arm swingers and my favorite, the ones that don’t know what side of the sidewalk to walk on. I don’t even know why we bother. Why can’t we have a magical device w/ millions of tiny feet that moves us around? BAM! Segway’s new RMP is here. 48 nubs is nowhere near a million but it is a good start.
Here are some photo’s of Segway’s new RMP, debuting at RoboBusiness - there isn’t any information available about it at this time other than it “might” cost up to $50k and it can move in any direction (omnidirectional wheels, but the term was hyperdirectional?).
It uses the same parts that a Segway uses but just doubled, it can haul up to 400 lbs. The engineer was going to load the firmware on for demos later, but I took some video of video they had on a screen, it’s creepy cool for sure. Via MAKE
