If the inner-kid in you thinks it's just about the time to play with a new toy, Japanese toy maker Dr. Geuro has just the right tool for you, the PRIMER-V2, a bike riding robot that even knows how to salute you.

Even though it was designed as a toy, the PRIMER-V2 can ride its bike at speeds up to 6mph (10km/h) in a manner very similar to how us people do it.

A gyro helps with steering when the robot is travelling in a straight line and the PRIMER-V2 slows down to a stop by putting its feet on the ground and dragging them until there is no more momentum left.

You can take a better look at the Dr. Geuro robot and its bike riding skills in the video enclosed above.

Right now, we don't know how much does this robot cost, and if will come to us non-Asians in the near future.
