This humanoid robot rides a bicycle to demonstrate Murata's sensor technologies. The integrated bike-bot "Murata Boy" is 50 cm (20 inches) tall and rides at just over 1 mph. He can trackstand forever and go backward as well as forward. In this more current photo, Murata Boy is showing off by riding on a 1 inch balance beam.
