Amputees and people with difficulty standing could soon move using a ‘wearable transportation device’ that gives the effect of walking.
Exmovere Holdings has unveiled a self-balancing, hands-free concept vehicle called the Chariot, which is controlled by subtle movements of the lower torso and hips.
Sensors inside the cocoon-like shell of the vehicle interpret gentle pressure changes from the wearer’s body to predict their intended motion and carry out the action.

There's some video of the chariot in action at the link... I don't mean to be harsh, but why do they have to make it look so ridiculous? It looks like R2D2.
