I felt that it had potential even over the Segway because it had a nice compact foot print like the Seaway, but had the extra advantage of being able to climb stairs. It just needed Omni wheels and drop down wheely bars and a hinged humanoid upper torso , head, and arms.
climbing n steps is as hard as climbing one step though. An improvement would be to have it climb the step at a constant speed, without the slight overshoot but i don't know if it possible with an inverted pendulum
One of my favorite bots.
Still Awesome. Did you guys do anything else with this design?

2013 conference...has there been any development of this mechanism into commercial applications?
this could be a drive for household robots.
wheel chairs, stroller, bagage career, lower body of robots, personal vehicle,.... and i guess it may make a jump.

i guess this mechanism can be applied to wheel chairs.
