News Flash: The World's Smallest 2-Legged Robot

Toymaker Takara Tomy announced today that they're releasing the world's smallest 2-legged robot in July.

The Omnibo2007 i-SOBOT will be sold for 31,290 yen. It's dimensions are just 96x67x165mm, plus it weighs only 350g. But it still does all kinds of cool shit. 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.

The company also announced that they will be releasing the big brother of tiny bot, the Omnibot2007 i-SOBOT CAMVersion, in October. The CAMversion has an internal camera that sneakily snaps photos and sends images wirelessly to your PC or cellphone.

Big Brother is watching...
