MURATA BOY is a self balancing robot that is packed with electronics to allow it to have extraordinary balancing capabilities. The specs are impressive especially considering the small size of the unit however watch the videos, they are something else!
Videos and more pictures after the jump.
“The little guy does not fall down, even when he comes to a complete stop. And, it’s not training wheels keeping him up, but a gyro sensor located underneath his seat that detects tiny movements to calculate the slanting angle of the body. Once the angle is figured out, a large rotating disc in the robot’s chest generates force to correct the slant.”

I was thinking it was human sized when I saw the videos at first but look at the second last picture, the guy looking at it is close up. So it is quite small, in my eyes this makes it more impressive since all the electronics now have less space to live than I initially suspected.
