Two-wheel transporter will transform into smart sidekick
March 7, 2018 by Nancy Owano, Tech Xplore
So what is the I-didn't really-need-it-but-how-do-you-spell-cool gadget would you like to buy next? A two-wheeled transporter to get around town? A personal assistant to order around town? No need to choose, because, come May, you might get the two all in one.
San Francisco-based Segway Robotics has a new robotic scooter. What's so "robot" about it?
The scooter, Loomo, has smarts and sensors. You can ride it. Or, you don't have to ride it; it will follow you around and carry your extra bags home. And lest we forget. It will listen to your voice commands and on command can take pictures or videos for you too.
