Showcasing the drool-worthy
Killer robots at Ceatec
Oct 6, 2008
Murata Girl, Genibo the dog, a robot receptionist, and other electronic helpers featured at this year's Japanese electronics show.
Murata Girl, aka Seiko-chan, with her twin sister at Ceatec 2008. She's just one of several robots being demonstrated here at the Japanese electronics show outside of Tokyo. Murata Girl can ride forward and backward at 2 inches per second--or idle in place. Tiny sensors tell the bot when it's about to bump into something, and gyroscopes on her back, plus a spinning disc embedded in her stomach, help her stay balanced. She can be controlled via a Bluetooth wand (not pictured).
