Let's start with the Honda UNI-CUB. Unlike the Segway-like transporters, this cute machine lets the user sit down and control it by leaning towards the desired traveling direction. Like its predecessor, the U3-X, the UNI-CUB can also travel sideways courtesy of its omni-directional driving wheel system, but when this author tried to make this move, sometimes it does a turn instead. Apart from that minor problem, we found Honda's solution to be very straightforward and potentially safer due to our lower center of gravity.
