Self-Balancing Bike Riding Robot

Murata Boy is a self-balancing, bicycle riding robot developed by Murata in Tokyo, Japan. He can ride Up and down hills, on bumpy roads or down a narrow S-shaped track. He can even avoid obstacles, balance while stopped and ride backwards. That all sounds easy enough, until you think back to the first time you rode a bike-- balancing on a bike is harder then it seems, and for a Robot it's quite a feat.
