A New Friend to Help You Shop

From the "What will they think of next" file...

A Japanese company has developed a robot that will help you out while you shop at your local mall. It gives you directions while it follows you around the mall. It also can carry your bags for you. The coolest thing is that it is a robot riding a small bicycle!

This robot will follow you all around the mall making all the twists and turns that you make, all without falling off the bike. Actually, the bicycle is part of the robot, but still it can keep it's balance even when it is stopped. Pretty cool, huh?

I saw a preview of this guy riding around and it really is cool when you see it up front in person. It almost looks like a small kid riding his bike following you as you walk along the mall.

Not sure when we will actually see it cruising the local mall here, but hopefully sometime soon.
