New mobile robot from Segway can see, carry and help out

Loomo is a personal, self-balancing transporter with AI and a personality. The robot has an emotion engine, powering lighthearted expressions that are actually quite endearing. Everything in between just hints to what Segway Robotics plans on doing with it. Right now, Loomo can be controlled in many ways: a smartphone app, voice-command, gestures and touch-sensors. With an auto-follow function, it can autonomously track you and film stabilized footage along the way. Over-the-air updates will continue to enhance Loomo's capabilities, with the goal being a lovable personal sidekick.
