Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
Japanese electronic components maker whose MEMS IMU sensors support robot SLAM and attitude control.
Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is a Japanese electronic components manufacturer founded in October 1944 and headquartered in Nagaokakyo, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. The company is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange under ticker 6981 and also trades on the Singapore Exchange under code M20. As of March 2025 Murata operated a global network of 84 subsidiaries and employs well over ten thousand people worldwide across its Japan, Americas, Europe, Southeast and South Asia, Korea, and Greater China regional operations.
Murata is best known for ceramic capacitors, inductors and EMI suppression filters, high-frequency and communication modules, battery systems, and functional ceramic devices used across automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics markets, built on the company's core ceramic-material and thin-film, thick-film, and LTCC processing technologies.
For robotics and industrial automation, Murata supplies MEMS-based inertial sensors used for attitude control and navigation. The SCHA63T is a six-axis inertial measurement unit combining three-axis accelerometers and three-axis gyroscopes across a plus/minus 6g, plus/minus 300 degrees-per-second measurement range with an SPI output, aimed at applications such as SLAM and orientation tracking in autonomous machines. The SCH16T is an industrial-grade six-axis IMU with a SafeSPI2.0 interface and a selectable plus/minus 8g/300dps or plus/minus 16g/2000dps range, intended for high-performance attitude-control tasks. Murata's broader sensor lineup also includes standalone accelerometers, gyro sensors, inclinometers, ultrasonic distance sensors, AMR magnetic position sensors, and vibration-sensor devices used for predictive maintenance on robotic and industrial equipment.
Murata sells through dedicated regional sales and engineering divisions covering every major world region. This profile documents the global parent company; Murata exhibited at WRC 2026 through Murata (China) Investment Co., Ltd. rather than the Japanese headquarters entity directly.
