Ok, let’s be honest: these toys created by the Japanese company Murata will not save anyone’s life on their own. What really lives up to the title of the matter is that the technology is applied in these little robots, that has the potential to help prevent traffic accidents, and thus prevent deaths.
The Murata develops these robots are able to interact with each other and dance group synchronously. For this, they need to be able to communicate using ultrasonic microphones and infrared sensors. The algorithm is able to inform the position of each of the robots so that they can act in a synchronized manner.
For now, robots are only able to run pre-programmed routines, but the company is already working on a system that allows real-time interaction. And that’s where the technology starts to be interesting for the safety of motorists. According to the company, the technology could be used in traffic control networks with the intention of reducing accidents
In fact, Murata develops their little robots just in order to present their technology.; there is no intention of putting them on the market, even though the demand may be large. The Japanese want to leverage communication systems between vehicles with the project, which already has major competitors like Ford and General Motors, giants who also develop similar technology.
“We believe that the wireless sensor data can become a central infrastructure for advanced integration of people and objects in connected societies, “says Yuichi Kojima, vice president of the company in a statement.
While that day comes, you can see the little robots Murata sympathetically and joyfully dancing in the video below. To get around, the robots use a ball and remain standing through three internal gyroscopes.
