Once you tap a button on the top of the device, and an emotive touchscreen face will extend out. From there, he'll be your companion that follows you around and doing all sorts of cool stuff for you.

The Segway Loomo can carry packages or bags using an optional trailer, he also is packed with ultrasonic, infrared and touch sensors that allow for detection, tracking, and even human understanding.
