Honda on Wednesday unveiled the U3-X, a stool with a unique directional wheel that allows it to travel diagonally, as well as right, left, forward, and backward. It's basically a robotic unicycle. The device is able to readjust itself so that instead of riders having to constantly balance themselves, the robotic unicycle does the compensating. Honda pointed out in its unveiling video that the U3-X's seat is slightly higher than an average person's waistline, forcing riders to jump up slightly. (source: news.cnet.com)
