I believe the core technology in Segway; the gyropscopic stabilization and two wheeled architecture, will one day find a use as the motive unit for robots, maybe 20-30 years from now.

Think of Rosie from The Jetsons, and that's where you may eventually see the future of the Segway technology.

Good prediction! Compared to the bipedal Asimo robot Honda has been touting in their television commercials, a two wheeled robot using this technology would be much faster and would also be more nimble than a four+ wheeled vehicle.
