A two-legged bot that’s shorter than a standard ballpoint pen just snatched the Guinness World Record for smallest humanoid robot. The tiny bot, built by members of a school robotics team in Hong Kong, stands just 5.5 inches tall. To nab the record for smallest humanoid robot, a bot must be more than just a toy. It must be capable of bipedal movement and articulating its shoulders, elbows, knees and hips.
Researchers of the robotics team designed and engineered the bot, which moves with the help of servo motors. The servos are manipulated via a control board attached to the robot’s back that can be operated via onboard control buttons or a mobile app. The DBS Robotics team said it decided to make the robot as small as possible so it can be mass-produced at lower cost.
