MURATA BOY is a bicycle-riding robot. Not only can he balance to ride straight, but he can also detect an obstacle on his own and either stop or go around it. Furthermore, he can achieve feats that are difficult even for humans, such as standing still in one spot without putting his feet down on the ground. Various sensors embedded in the robot make these accomplishments possible. The MURATA BOY is packed with Murata’s leading-edge technologies and possibilities in electronics.

In addition to the components that are introduced above, many of Murata’s electronic components are used, such as: chip monolithic ceramic capacitor, ceramic resonator (CERALOCK^®), NTC thermistor, trimmer potentiometer, and EMI suppression filter (EMIFIL^®).
