Murata caused quite a splash in the tech world with their awesome
unicycle humanoids a while back, and now the company is applying the robot technology used in those machines for something that's not just entertaining to watch. The advanced balancing system in particular is what makes their newly developed "assistance car" so special. As you can see in the video embedded below, the car stands upright on its own without falling over. Thanks to the built-in power assist system, it just takes one finger to make it move forward or back "automatically", making Murata think of turning the prototype into a walking aid, baby carriage, or some sort of shopping cart in the future.
