Robot Rodem is a new type of robotic mobile vehicle like a Segway because it can be controlled via body movements.
It is mainly intended for people with disabilities and those elderly who are frail.
But, it can also be used as an indoor vehicle for anyone.
Rodem is steered either with a joystick or body balance indicating the direction to take.
It was designed by Japanese company Tmsuk.
