I don't get it
The bike even remains steady when stopped? How come? Something's fishy here... Or untold perhaps. As presented this video doesn't make any sense at all. Robots don't have supernatural powers.

- No, but the robot has a gyro.
  I believe you can see part of it operating in the front view, a spinning device that stops and changes direction. Not new, but in this application, very sophisticated.

- you can do it too in real life
  You can stop riding your bike and still balance it
  it is very hard and not easy at all but I could do it... its fun.

- Supernatural???
  It's not supernatural. Look up gyroscope properties in a good encyclopedia.

Congrats
You've made a robot that can ride a bike around, now try getting with the program and beating Honda's robot that can walk 4 times as fast as this waste of money. The only useful thing coming out of this robot would be its so called "precision sensors" that allow it to balance on a bike, that is, if they're real and not a hoax.

- It does not ride
  none of the limbs actualy do anything. There is a black motor over the back wheel that drives the tyre through friction and a red telescopic actuator to steer.

muslims can teach the robots to be suicide bombers now. The robot will end up with 70 virgin robots. Or 70 vibrators.

Great

Reminds of the movie irobot, I hope computers will turn into robots one day, interact with humans. that would be cool.
