Overview

A Segway self-balancing scooter that turned into a follow-me robot with a face screen and an Intel RealSense camera, launched via crowdfunding after its CES 2016 debut. The Android SDK made it a popular cheap research platform for a while. Segway no longer sells it, and used units still appear.
