Robots On Wheels

Here is Hitachi’s entry into the robot WARS!!! race and one that points out an actual use for the Segway concept. Why have all those chunky walking technology worries like nightmarish future soldier Honda’s Asimo.

Hitachi had a press conference introducing them yesterday:

Two wheel-based Emiews, Pal and Chum, introduced themselves to reporters at a press conference in Japan.

How nice. It kind of looks like Pal…or Chum…is holding a flamethrower Swiffer-brand duster to get at those difficult areas.
