iSobot may no longer be the world’s smallest bipedal humanoid robot, but it’s still amazing, and it’s had an amazing price cut too: Last year when it debuted it was over $US300, now it’s just $US100. At that price you could practically afford a small army of them, give them a suitable evil make-over and re-enact the Orc battle scene from the end of Lord of the Rings on your dining table. Or something. [Hammacher via BotJunkie]
At 3.5cm, this robot may not be as complex as the bipedal 16cm Tomy iSobot–the former-smallest bipedal bot according to the Guinness book of world records–but it can do plenty of things, from walking to finding its way out of a labyrinth to play soccer. It will arrive to europe later this year and hopefully to the US soon, because I want a full army of them, like the girl in the product shot from the Robo Japan expo. [Toylogy]
