I have seen a robot that was attached to the lower half of the Segway, and it used the Seg as a mode of transportation, and the robot could rotate and grab things.

Darn. Someone beat me to it. I should have checked the news before I went to class this morning.

This article about autonomous battlefield robots and the Pentagon makes me think of a certain movie trilogy starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. I hope we never see the creation of the Segway HT - the Segway Human Terminator....

The NASA team working on Robonaut mounted the torso on a Segway. Very cool. http://robonaut.jsc.nasa.gov/status/Sep_Robonaut_Status_03.htm
