GUINNESS CERTIFIED “SMALLEST HUMANOID IN PRODUCTION” IS COMING

Takara Tomy’s 6.5-inch, Guinness-certified “smallest humanoid robot in production,” i-SOBOT, is finally making its way to our primitive shores next month. The English website and price are still “coming soon,” but since this dancing, push-upping wunderbot runs about $300 in Japan, we can pretty safely guess it’ll be thereabouts. Hopefully we’ll have our meatpuppet mitts on one soon to tell you if it’s worth it.

The Omnibo2007 i-SOBOT is the smallest 2-legged robot in the world. It’s just 96x67x165mm and weighs only 350g. An internal gyro-sensor gives is maximum flexibility while an attached IR remote control has voice command features and pre-programming capabilities. If you clap or play music, the i-SOBOT will dance to the beat. It goes on sale in July from toymaker Takara Tomy.
