TOKYO: Here�s where Jetsons meet the current age and well yeah, better get yourself one before you�re not the only one walking around. What makes me say this is the amazing robotic skateboard we have here that�s just rolled out from the Shibaura Institute of Technology, Tokyo.
Weighing a mighty 15 kilograms, this 60 cm long skateboard recognizes your forward leans that will propel the �vehicle� forward. The top speed can touch 6 mph. To turn to a particular direction all you need to do is turn your body.
It may lead to all the lethargy that we�ve dreaded ever since the release of the movie Wall-E. But then there aren�t too many things that promise luxury, and appeal to us at the same time.
