Tomy Robo-Q Is 3.4 Centimeters Of Bipedaliciousness
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Monday, 13 of October , 2008 at 12:12 am
Tomy has released what may be the world’s smallest and the world’s cheapest bipedal robot. The Robo-Q is 3.4 centimeters tall (that’s under an inch and a half), walks around on two stubby little legs, and costs a scant $35. It’s far from a wind-up toy, however, and packs more smarts than many much larger and more expensive bipedal robots. You can control it directly with a remote, plus it has some kind of infrared object following mode and it can navigate simple mazes on its own (obstace avoidance, basically). Not bad, how about we use these little guys for micro-mini soccer competition at RoboGames?
Robo-Q will be sold in Japan starting in February, but Tomy says it’ll be making its way to the rest of Asia, Europe, and then (eventually) the USA.
