# Sweet Cycling Cyborgs Dr. Guero Presents a Robot on Wheels By Patrick Walsh | Published 2011-11-06 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cycling-cyborgs-robots-cycle References: [techcrunch](http://techcrunch.com/2011/11/03/video-amazing-mini-humanoid-rides-bicycle/) & [robosavvy](http://robosavvy.com/store/product_info.php/products_id/554) A new breakthrough using internal gyroscopes means society can now have [cycling cyborgs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/great-robot-olympics), as demonstrated by Dr. Guero's creation. Dr. Guero has worked at [Boston Dynamics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-boston-dynamics-atlas), AITS and the [Osaka University](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/centipede-robot). A product of this nature has been attempted before however this is the first on this scale, as the cyborg is able to cycle completely independently. The robot can even pause to walk around and then start off again. It does this by lifting its leg over and placing one foot on the pedal followed by the other. How it works, is the built in gyroscope sends steering commands to keep the robot upright. The robot can reach speeds of up to 10kph, and can be purchased for $2,200 dollars. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Cycling Cyborgs:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the potential for integrating AI and robotics to create efficient and autonomous cycling systems. - **Gyroscopic Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new applications for gyroscopes in various industries, such as transportation, robotics, and aerospace. - **Independent Robotic Mobility:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Investigate ways to enhance the mobility of robots by enabling them to move independently and adapt to different terrains. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate advanced robotic technology into vehicles to enhance safety and autonomous capabilities. - **Sports and Recreation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilize robotics to create innovative and engaging experiences in the sports and recreation industry. - **Education and Research:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Employ robotic systems in educational and research settings to enhance learning and explore new capabilities of automation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Terrain-Combating Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-xyber.md) - [Wearable Electric Three-Wheelers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-electric-threewheeler.md) - [Motor-Powered Diwheels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-diwheel.md) - [Gargantuan Electric-Assist Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electricassist-bike.md) - [Self-Balancing Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motoroid-bike.md) - [Quadruped Robot Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suzuki-moqba.md) - [Modular Electric Utility Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2x2-ultra-bike.md) - [Self-Balancing Stealthy Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motoroid.md) - [AI-Enhanced Smart Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aienhanced-smart-bikes.md)
