Murata Boy Robot

Last October of 2005 One of the many interesting displays at CEATAC was the Murata Boy Robot they call it the bicycling robot, Better look at this robot and be amazed on what he can actually do on his bike, that average people can’t hardly do. It could actually ride a bicycle and balance its body on the bike without any support, just the two wheels of the bike, isn’t amazing he don’t need to practice at all and spend so many days and suffer from falling like an average human can do, see how technology can do? How can Murata Boy balance on the bike and not falling? Because it has Angle detection, they call it "Gyro sensor" it detects the slant angle during the run and the bicycle is steered using the signal sent from the gyro sensor. By arbitrarily controlling the rotation of flywheel inside torso, it maintains balance without falling when running and stopping. That's not all it certainly packs in the functionality, being capable of speeds up to 60cm/sec or 2 km/hour standing upright without falling, obstacle detection, running backwards, running a predetermined course while monitoring his position, receiving instructions wirelessly and capturing and sending images to its PC master wirelessly, Murata Boy was built entirely with standard Murata products such as gyroscopic, ultrasonic, and shock sensors and motion control, battery, imaging, and communication modules and not knowing that it is just a small robot but it almost got every thing it needs.
