Segway’s new scooter is a cute, $1,300 rolling robot that carries your stuff and follows you around — and it’s straight out of science-fiction

• Segway Robotics is opening pre-orders for Loomo, a robotic scooter.
• A cross between a Segway scooter and an Amazon Echo, Loomo is a $1,300 two-wheel transport that responds to voice commands.
• In addition to transporting you, it can take your picture on command, automatically follow you around, and act as a telepresence robot that you control remotely.
