Takara Tomy I-sobot Robot
We got the opportunity to test this new cool i-sobot robot today and I have only one thing to say about it, WOW! The “i-sobot” is a Japanese robot created by Takara Tomy. It is right now the world’s smallest robot. It measures 6.5” (165mm) high, 3.77” (96mm) wide, 2.64” (67mm) deep and weights in at 14 ounces (400g).
So what can this cool new robot do? From the factory it knows already over 200 words and phrases and 200 pre-programmed movement sequences. I tested to by telling it to “do pushups” and down he went and started to workout like a real fitness instructor:) I love to have a small “mini-me” and I don’t have to change any diapers.
Some other things the i-sobot can do out of the box is saying goodbye, dancing hula, punching with sound effects, playing air guitar and much more. If you have some computer knowledge you can easily reprogram the Takara Tomy i-sobot to learn more movements and words. After some time it feels like a family member, just like a pet. The robot can’t do much useful stuff like cleaning the dishes but he will bring out a lot of laughs and make you smile. I have mine on my work desk all the time and I love to order him around to do stuff.
These i-sobots comes in many colors and variation, below you can find a few for sale right now.
