Remember Murata’s amazing bicycle riding bot? Well, they’ve replaced him with a girl. Well, she must be, just look at her dress shape. Her name is Seiko, a 20-inch tall, 11 pound unicycle riding robot.

Like her male partner Keisaku-kun, Seiko sports a chest-mounted gyro to keep her upright and uses Bluetooth to communicate with a PC that gives instructions. If you are lucky enough to be in Japan, you can watch the whole family of robo-daredevils do their thing at CEATEC Japan 2008. One-upped by a girl who only needs one wheel? That sucks.

Check out a video below of the original, our favorite bike riding bot, casually riding around looking like some robo-hoodlum up to no good.
