Toyota just unveiled a new series of what they call “Partner Robots” which are supposed to help people extend their range of mobility safely and effectively. Dubbed as “Winglets,” these toys for grown-ups look like segway-like devices that consist of a body that contains an electric motor, two wheels, and a couple of internal sensors (to ensure that people riding them don’t end up kissing the floor). The following video shows the “S” version in action.

Awesome gadget, is it available commercially and if yes, any idea on cost?
I think this one is much handy compared to the other one which you have to use with your hands.
