Japanese robot builder Takeshi Maeda demoed the latest version of his OmniZero robot.

The ninth generation of OmniZero can transform from bipedal fighting machine into a rolling vehicle as well as a walking seat (See it in action in the video below). The shape-changing robot is 3.4 feet tall and weighs in at 55 pounds.

Maeda, who weighs about 115 pounds, can ride piggyback on OmniZero when its head tilts back. The front wheels serve as handholds. In chair mode, the robot can change direction but doesn't seem able to move too well while carrying its creator.

Maeda showed it off at Robo-One 16, a popular robot combat tournament that was held in Toyama City over the weekend. The machine transformed into car mode and rolled into the ring.
