GADGETS

First displayed at the Tokyo Motor Show, the U3-X personal mobility prototype provides movement in any direction just by leaning toward your desired heading. The lightweight and compact one-wheeled device also features a foldable seat and retractable footrests. A lithium-ion battery pack provides power for up to one-hour of use and can be recharged by plugging in to a conventional household or office 120-volt power outlet.

Company designers, Honda, began research into robotics in 1986 and walking devices in 1999, culminating in the development of ASIMO, the world's most advanced bi-pedal humanoid robot. The cumulative study of human walking and balance control led to the creation of the U3-X personal mobility device - all geared toward further advancing human mobility through technological innovation.
