Forget about the old school Segway, and behold Professor Furukawa Osmau’s Mobility concept. Unlike what you could have read on the Internet, the “Compact Mobility” is not a robot per se but an advanced high-tech transportation module made to simplify connections between your present location and your bus station, train station, Taxi…

The Compact Mobility is not intended to replace a scooter or to be ridden on long distances, but rather to help and ease your movements in urban areas. With a total weight of 80kg, a size of 300x600x250mm and a maximum speed of 10km/h, the “Compact Mobility” is still a work in progress but Professor Furukawa Osamu aims to make this product available to the public within 2010… Now just stay tuned since we will have soon a little surprise for you.
