Look ma! No robot hands!

A Murata Manufacturing technology robot is able to ride a bike without falling over. This is because the robot has an internal sensor that knows its own body's angle, so if it starts to lean to one side, it will know to move the steering wheel in the opposite direction to stay balanced. When it comes to a stop, a spinning disk within the robot keeps it from tipping over. via |
