Bicycle riding Robot Murata_1

[ahmedovahmed]

better than a human :) how the hell can it stand still?

[akary]

that thing in its chest is a reaction wheel, not a gyroscope.

[alienjoe123]

there is an app for that.

[Backst4bB3r]

NOW A WHEELIE

[wannawatchmovie]

Can it lean towards any side??? And hw can it balance itself when it is at rest??? The tyres must be thick i guess!!! m confused....!!!

[skateintheAP]

how come it doesnt fall over?

[FullFledged2010]

@skateintheAP It has a gyro

[Asian4988]

if only it could go off jumps and do backflips and tailwhips -.- NOW THAT WOULD BE COOL

[nephil1977]

Nice gyro in its chest. Wondered how it stayed upright.

[Benjii720]

the music you hear sounds Alot like the Demo Umd That Shipped with the original psp

[mountaindewvoltage70]

they should have it flying a red baron air plane that would be so awesome

[kamigh]

I once more congratulate the team for their great job. But I have a comment that this is not a humanoid robot which rides a bicycle or pushing the pedals. Joints follow the movement of the parts.

The integrated image processing system is amazing.

I've seen robotic hands balance a needle on their palm, serious. It was some japanese video I saw on tv (science channel). Amazing precision. I couldn't balance a needle!!!!!

[a1mint]

next thing is a unicycle

[ninjaXxXgoesXxXrawR]

@a1mint yeah, they have one of those now.

xD

[natevplas]

now just make one that rides a unicycle!

[spongebathe]

today its riding a bicycle, tomorrow its riding a harley and wearing synthetic flesh and leather

[Lachausis]

in a year it's flying a jet

[smanettonipuntonet]

And hiding a 12ga. in the saddle bags...

[glenoz]

I would be impressed more if it could put away dishes and clean cloths, who finances this crap!

[MaruchanValentina]

Wow, humans have way more moving parts than robots, but very very very few of us can keep balance like that!

Amazing.

[Bayanetto]

Your tax money at work.

[zzztopzzz]

haha. Murata is a private company. I know your money is spent by your stupid govt.

[Ophel]

hahahaha it is cute!

[Lachausis]

it has a gyro-like thingy in it to keep the balance. japanese are crazy

[whitehendrix24]

so there some kinda of spinning weel inside it to keep it balanced?

[Lachausis]

yes, most likely. It doesn't have to be huge, but good enough to give impulses to the whole balancing system, whetever it might be. who knows?

[whitehendrix24]

yeah principal of gyroscope or inertia or whatever it is. Spin a weel and it will stay at that same angle even if it must counter gravity. Some cool stuff.

[obesuspuer88]

its scary that it can balance like that
