Not the current product iteration. I talked to Trevor today and he said that they've been doing research on bipeds etc for years but decided for the market they were pursuing (essentially mobile video conferencing), a Segway-like solution is perfectly feasible (ignoring stairs, but I'd imagine they could do something with RF transmitters hooked up to elevators to ignore this problem).

The current product weighs about 40lbs, and thus is probably sturdy enough to hold maybe 10lbs of stuff?



Just 40lbs, wow! That's some great engineering, I'm guessing keeping the wight down was part of the design process.
