Video: Hondas (Amazing) Personal Mobility Robot Uni-Cub

Picture 1Honda caused quite a splash a while back with the introduction of the U3-X, a personal mobility robot that's basically a motorized unicycle (and that our own John Biggs was "impressed" with after taking it for a test drive last year). And now, at the Tokyo Motor Show 2011, Honda took the wraps of a pretty similar robot, the so-called Uni-Cub.In fact, Honda says it has been working on mobility solutions for single drivers since 1980. Just like with the U3-X, this new model makes it possible for drivers to ride in the direction they want to go by just moving the upper body or operating a joystick (the robot can also handle lateral movements).
