You may never be able to afford your on Segay， but soon you‘ll be able to buy something similar for just a hundred bucks. You on&quo;t be able to ride it， but it might ulmately end up being more fun. It‘s Woee&quo;s MiP toy robot， hich performs a variety of acvies hile balancing on its to heels.

MiP as designed in a collaboraon beteen Woee and the Coordinated Robotics Lab at the University of California， San Diego. It balances just like the Segay， using the mobile inverted pendulum principle （hence its name） – in a nutshell， this means that the bottom of the robot is constantly moving back and forth， in order to keep the eight of the section centered above it.

It be controlled via XYZ Interactive‘s GestureSense system， in hich an onboard 3D sensory system recognizes and responds to the user’s hand gestures.

If users prefer， though， it ill also respond to mands sent via Bluetooth， from an iOS or Android mobile device running the free MiP app. That app lets them steer it in real time using onscreen controls， preprogram paths for it to follo， or play games in hich it boxes or races ith another MiP， dances to user-supplied music， or balances multiple objects on its tray aessory. It can also avoid obstacles hile autonomously roaming.

The robot runs for about four to six hours of “moderate usage” on four AAA batteries， although a rechargeable model is in the orks. In the meantime， the current version is no available for pre-order at a US-shipping-included price of US$119. It ill also be shoing up in BestBuy stores starting in May， priced at $100.

你可能永远买不起自己的赛格威，但很快你就能买到一百美元左右的类似产品。你不能驾驭它，但它最终可能会更有趣。这是WoWWee的MIP玩具机器人，它在两个轮子的平衡下进行各种活动。

MIP设计之间的合作与协调的WoWee机器人实验室在加利福尼亚大学，圣迭戈。它平衡就像Segay，采用移动式倒立摆原理（得名）–简而言之，这意味着机器人的底部不断地来回移动，以保持顶部的重量集中在它之上。

可以通过控制XYZ互动的gesturesense系统，其中机载3D感官系统识别和响应用户的手势。

如果用户喜欢，但它也会回应通过发送命令，从iOS或Android移动设备上运行的自由MIP应用。该应用程序让他们操纵它使用屏幕上的实时控制，程序要遵循的路径，或玩游戏，盒子或种族与另一个MIP，用户提供的音乐舞蹈，或平衡多目标托盘附件。它也可以在自主漫游避开障碍。

机器人运行约四至六小时的“适度”的使用四节AAA电池，虽然充电模式的作品。在此期间，目前的版本是可在美国航运的前订单，包括119美元的价格。它也将显示在百思买店五月起，售价为100美元。
