Check out the World’s smallest fully functional bot known as the i-SOBOT. A compact hobby bipedal humanoid robot that is only 6.49 inches tall and weighs only 350g! (through the development of a proprietary compact servo motor, but who cares about that?) This tiny bot broke the Guinness World Record for being the smallest advanced humanoid robot.

The micro-sized high-tech i-SOBOT is equipped with 17 servo motors provided throughout the body and also a gyro sensor. It is capable of making different kinds of smooth motions while automatically balancing itself.

It features five operational modes: (1) remote control mode; (2) programmed mode; (3) special action mode; (4) voice control mode (for dictating simple actions); and (5) dance mode. It i-SOBOT IR Remote Controllercan also move while outputting words (speaking vocabulary of over 200 words and phrases in English), sound effects, music, etc. from a built-in speaker.

The i-SOBOT remote control has a built-in LCD display with intuitive icons for easy motion sequence entry. The controller/robot communication is done using a well known IR format similar to television remote controls.The i-SOBOT can play music, dance, and respond to applause and other user actions. The bot can also make its own punching and kicking sound effects, so we can imagine some entertaining robo-duels with a pair of these things. By the way, have you ever seen a toy robot that can do push-ups? Or get up on its feet by itself without you having to lift it up? Watch the video. It’s awesome!

The Tomy i-Sobot is available to buy online for $199.99 from Wowzzers.
