Comment by Jesse on October 28, 2011 at 5:36am I'd say, "yes!"... if you think about it, an aircraft is just an "abstract" robot with servos and other electronics scattered about.

Comment by Ross Kerley on October 28, 2011 at 8:18am That is awesome!
Wouldn't it be an Unmanned Ground Vehicle?
Comment by Ellison Chan on October 28, 2011 at 9:40am Very impressive. It holds up the bike with one leg, and then lifts it transitioning into forward motion. Very impressive.

I like the way it stops! just like my kids!! hehe
Comment by Curt Olson on October 28, 2011 at 11:41am Very impressive -- much more than just pedaling and balancing.
Comment by Jonas on October 28, 2011 at 12:21pm So cool only in Japan :-)
@ DaveWavey Well no cos it's not flying but if it jumped a ramp, maybe.
