Tomy and Sanyo got together to develop the worlds smallest robot (according to the Guiness Book O Records).
AkihabaraNews went along to the press announcement to see what the fuss was all about.

The i-sobot comes with 17 servo-engines and can be programmed to do useful things like walk into a figure shop/walk out with figure without paying.
The little blighter can also recognize up to ten voice commands like "lie down you little git", "stand up you turd" etc.
The i-sobot will retail for 30,000 yen. You can see the i-sobot in action in some exclusive AkihabaraNews footage.

This should be a fantastic Educational/Plaything. It would've been on my wish list if it weren't that expensive.

I wonder how they would fare as little spies.

Always the crazy sense of humor, Danny. :)
"lie down you little git", "stand up you turd"... The day they get conscience of the way some consider them and don't take it well, I believe I'd have to pray for some souls. XD

Just kidding, naturally.

Anybody else think a super robot anime would be a good idea to promote him. I'd like to see one.

If it was 20 feet tall and is equipped with a 30mm cannon, a 7.62mm machinegun and SAM missile launchers, it'll become unstoppable once it is mass-produced!

I might want one of those, but only if it were free - I doubt anyone would be sane enough to buy one of those here though.

Very cool. Interesting timing for this release though just the other day in the news I saw the 'real' worlds smallest robot. It was extremly tiny and could walk on water simular to some insect it was designed to mimic.
I cant quite remember where that was designed though maybe someone else recalls seeing it in the news.
