Re: New Robosapien's father is a Segway....

It looks like Segway is planning on licensing to other companies as well.

From todays NASA Tech Briefs Motion Control Newsletter:

SMART MOTION
Segway Inc. (Bedford, NH) has announced plans to license its Segway(R) Smart
Motion technology to third-party companies and in some cases co-develop
products with other manufacturers using the technology. The company also
announced that Hong Kong-based WowWee Ltd., parent company of WowWee
Robotics, will be the first third-party company to employ Segway Smart
Motion in products that will publicly debut in 2006.

"Our technical team has developed a unique knowledge base that integrates
controls engineering, embedded systems, advanced energy systems and sensor
technologies. This knowledge can now be quickly applied to entirely new
applications and product categories by leveraging Segway Smart Motion
technology," said Doug Field, vice president of product development.
