Arduway: LEGO and Arduino make a Segway
MAKE Magazine: hacks — ... which connects it to two LEGO NXT motors and an Epson gyroscope. Aduino Poet, the robot's creator and a student at the Politecnico of Milan, started a library called Arduino2Lego which aims to provide a simple API for the Arduino to talk to standard NXT sensors and motors. Currently, it looks like it only has an interface for motor control, but the project is open source and with any luck, others will chip in and add more features.

DIY: Mini Segway
GEARFUSE — ... , this Segway is capable of self-balanced movement at a speed that could be deemed too fast. Just kidding, this thing is slow as molasses. Arduino.poet also uploaded his library to Sourceforge for all to use and is willing to answer any questions anyone has on the project over at the Arduino.cc forums.  My question: where’s the cup holder?

DIY Mini-Segway Shows Dean Kamen Isn't All That Clever [Diy Segway]
Gizmodo — ... , so he's pretty clever. But then so is the guy who's put together this Arduway out of an Arduino controller board and some Lego Mindstorms motors. It senses its position with a gyro, and balances pretty much like the real thing, only smaller. Maybe good for giving your pet mouse some 21st Century transport? If you're impressed and want to try it out then there's a DIY guide and the software available. Clever stuff. [Project page via ...
