Japanese toymaker Tomy Company's 'Omnibot17u i-SOBOT', listed by
the Guinness Book of Records as the world's smallest humanoid robot in
production, dances during a news conference in Tokyo July 20, 2007. The 16.5 cm
(6.496 inches)-tall robot, powered by Sanyo Electric's eneloop nickel-metal
hydride rechargeable batteries, is able to talk about 180 vocabularies and has
about 200 different types of action patterns. The robot will go on sale in Japan
for a price of 29,800 yen (about $243), the company said. [Reuters]
