Video of Murata Boy the bike riding robot


Today BB Gadgets showed a video ad for a bike riding robot. Weirdly, the commercial doesn't show the robot riding a bike (perhaps the same agency that made the Seinfeld Microsoft commercials is responsible). Here's a video of the Murata Boy earnestly pedaling around in an empty room. It's like an outtake from Spielberg's AI.
