Personal Porter Looks Pretty Easy To Park

Tokyo May 1, 2006; Japan Today published this picture of an employee of tmsuk Co demonstrates the WL-16RIII, the world's first biped walking robot capable of carrying a person. It has a joy stick-like controller for operation so that a driver can decide movement direction and speed. The robotic legs can also negotiate stairs and could eventually find use as a wheelchair substitute, tmsuk officials say.
