Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.: "Murata Yuki" and "Murata urchin" showcase new technologies

"Murata urchin" and "Murata Yuki" prepared for the wooden bridge

The concept of “doing products that are not in the same industry” has enabled Murata to develop from a workshop that burns “Qingshui” ceramics to become one of the world's largest suppliers of electronic components. Murata's multi-layer ceramic capacitors, EMI (electromagnetic compatibility) filters, SAW (high-frequency surface acoustic wave) filters, gyro sensors, and vibration sensors are currently ranked first in the global market. At this year's CEATEC exhibition, Murata focused on the company's latest generation of technology by releasing robots such as “Murata Yuki” and “Murata Remote Control Rod” that integrate multiple intelligent technologies.

"Murata Yuki" integrated multiple sensor communication technologies unveiled

On October 4th, "MURATAGIRL"---the robot girl who will ride a wheelbarrow will be released at CEATEC, bringing Murata's booth to the largest number of people in the pavilion. In 2005, Murata released a robotic boy who would ride a bicycle---"Murata urchin", which attracted a lot of attention and response around the world. It was hailed by Time magazine as the "2006 Best Innovation Award". This year "Murata Yuki" is also loaded with a lot of advanced technology, specifically including four categories:

One is the sensor that detects the tilt, and a total of two are used. They can detect the inclination of the body posture when the wheelbarrow is walking. The direction is adjusted by receiving a signal from the sensor to turn the wheel forward or backward and rotating the inertia wheel placed on the abdomen so that the "Murata Deaf" can maintain balance without falling.

The second is an ultrasonic sensor that detects obstacles, including a pair of transmitters and receivers. The distance from the obstacle is detected by measuring the time difference between the transmitted ultrasonic wave and the signal reflected back when the obstacle is encountered. This technique is also applied to fields such as the parking sensor of automobiles.

The third is the Bluetooth communication module. Send and receive commands and data between mobile information devices and computers using frequency signals of 2.45 GHz.

The fourth is a general-purpose component of a general circuit. In other general circuits, many common electronic components of Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd., such as "chip monolithic ceramic capacitors" that can supply power correctly, and "ceramic resonators" that can output standard signals by oscillating circuits, are used to detect temperature. "NTC (negative temperature coefficient) thermistor", "trimmer potentiometer" for adjusting circuit characteristic deviation, "EMI (electromagnetic compatibility) squelch filter for eliminating electromagnetic interference", etc.

"Murata Remote Control Stick" combines multiple sensing technologies in one

After the appearance of "Murata Yuki", "Murata urchin", which has been born for three years, is also showing the latest technology on the spot - a "village remote control stick" similar to "cue" guides "Murata urchin" to do each Kind of action. For example, if you wave forward "Murata remote control stick", "Murata urchin" will walk forward; otherwise, "Murata urchin" will walk backwards. If you swing the "Murata remote control stick" to the left or right, the bicycle will also deflect to the left or right. Moreover, tilting "Murata remote control stick", "Murata urchin" will turn his face to the front of "Murata remote control stick", revealing the inconspicuous and very flattering expression like a kitten staring at the toy that he is playing with. .

According to the designer of the site, three gyro sensors, one 3-axis acceleration sensor, one vibration sensor, one piezoelectric buzzer, and one Bluetooth module are mounted in the "Murata Remote Control Stick". Among them, the gyro sensor has a function of detecting the rotation speed of the object, and the 3-axis acceleration sensor can detect the tilt direction, the rotation speed and the acceleration of the object. These sensors can detect the direction of the "Murata remote control stick", and then transmit this information to "Murata urchin", "Murata remote control stick" can remotely control "Murata urchin".

Since this function is not remotely controlled by a PC (Personal Computer), it can directly transmit analog motion signals and make the action of "Murata urchin" more natural. The purpose of the company's development of "Murata Remote Control Stick" is to provide wireless remote control technology to the society by using the sensors of Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

New products meet deep application needs

In addition to the high-tech display of “Murata urchin” and “Murata 婉童”, the products and solutions of communication, automobile, energy and power are also displayed on the platform of Murata, and their indicators meet the needs of practical applications.

In communications and sensing, the company demonstrated a variety of miniaturized wireless communication modules and multi-layer substrates and software technologies to implement these structures and functions. What impressed the reporter is the UV sensor module, which can calculate the intensity of ultraviolet light, and can be integrated into a variety of carry-on accessories and electronic products to provide reference for people's healthy life.

In automotive electronics, the company demonstrated sensing technology that could improve vehicle safety. These sensing technologies control the car's "starting, driving, turning, braking" and other actions by accurately detecting the driving state of the car and the external environment of the car. In addition, there are various high-reliability components that maximize the thermal resistance, strong vibration resistance, and high-reliability weldability of ceramic materials. The reporter saw a rotating position sensor that can withstand high temperature of 150 °C and guarantee 10 million rotation life. In addition, Murata also exhibited an external rechargeable hybrid scooter manufactured by Vectrix of the United States, which uses a monolithic ceramic capacitor for Murata's power use.

In terms of energy power, Murata demonstrated a solution for internal heat dissipation of small equipment with a small and high-efficiency DC/DC converter.
