Robotics startup wants to disrupt walking with AI roller skates
The genesis of the idea came when founder and CEO Xunjie Zhang was almost knocked off his scooter by a car while making his commute to work a mile away."That's when Xunjie asked himself why he never walked to work," the company says, but it never explains why – it goes straight into the"mission to enhance walking instead of replacing it.
"Our basic form of movement hasn't changed in six million years, we still walk the same way our great great great grandparents walked: slowly," Zhang says in a promotional video."The way we walk is stuck in the past. It's time to bring it up to speed." Just like the Fisher Price skates, the Moonwalkers fit over any shoe. Unlike the Fisher Price skates, they will cost early backers upwards of $1,199. All the cheaper options on the product'shave been snapped up, surpassing the $90,000 goal by some 230 percent with 10 days still to go.
The fancy skates are charged by USB-C, meaning you can have them juicing up on your desk ahead of quitting time with a six-mile range in an hour and a half, so you can spend less time negotiating the city crowds and more time stuffing your crypto into cold wallets or, indeed, ridding yourself of it entirely. ®
