Plen is a robot designed to skate around on your desktop. It can be controlled via Bluettoth. It was launched commercially last summer in Japan [1] for around $2000.

Plen is able to keep balance when skateboarding or even skating on one leg. The following video shows a Plen robot skating on a desktop.
