In December 2001, renowned inventor Dean Kamen unveiled the Segway Personal Transporter (PT). The Segway PT is a two-wheeled, self-balancing electric vehicle.
Segway PTs are driven by electric motors at up to 12.5 mph.
The dynamics of the Segway PT are identical to a classic control problem, the inverted pendulum.
Users lean forward to go forward, lean back to go backward, and turn by using a "Lean Steer" handlebar, leaning it left or right.
Gyroscopic sensors are used to detect tilting of the device which indicates a departure from perfect balance.
