Tiny Robo-Clone Vies for World Record
Taiwan-based GeStream is taking a shot at the Guinness World Record for “smallest humanoid robot in production,” though I’m not sure Tomy’s iSobot, current reigning champ, is losing sleep over it.
GeStream’s yet unnamed mini-bot, shown in the bizarrely edited demonstration film below, stands 5.9 inches tall, just under iSobot’s 6.5 inch crown. It is small, controlled via infra-red, and targeted for sale in a sub-$200 kit.
Maybe it’s the jerky franken-pushups, maybe it’s the gold spray-paint, but somehow it seems to lack the polish, charm (and development budget) of the gleefully anticipated Tomy robot.
World Bulletin has an article and fresh new video clip here.
