Tomy’s I-Sobot may be the world’s smallest humanoid robot, but how does he move? Kind of like your dumb tubby friend from high school. He has stupid one-liner comebacks to many of your comments, “awesome” dance moves, karate actions that definitely leave something to be desired and he even loves playing the air guitar. If after seeing this video you still want one I-Sobot will go on sale next month for $299. [Makezine] More »
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. [i-SOBOT]
AU: That’s the US talking, of course, but no doubt once there is an English language option anyone who really wants to get their mitts on one will find a way. -SB
