Developed by Murata Machinery Murata Boy is equipped with a gyroscope underneath the bicycle s seat which enables him to balance
MURATA Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has developed a unicycle-riding robot, “MURATA GIRL,” following its bicycle-riding robot MURATA BOY. Various types of robots capable of performing such roles as entertainment and security have been created recently for use in our daily lives. These robots incorporate several Murata products, including capacitors that store electricity in electronic circuits, sensors that control motion, and communication modules that exchange information. Since the robotics market is expected to experience strong growth, expansion in the demand for such electronic components is also expected. In view of Japanese children’s declining interest in science, Murata has been using MURATA BOY and GIRL to actively create educational opportunities at schools under the corporate theme of “promoting science education as a part of Murata's CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) activities,”, to demonstrate to children just how much fun science can be.
