The iSobot, the dinkiest of all robots, has made the long journey from Tokyo, and is now available in the UK for £199.

This little chap has won big plaudits as the world's smallest humanoid robot in production as listed in the Guinness Book of Records.

He is just 16.5 x 10 x 6.5cm, but can bi-pedal walk, talk, dance, and even kung fu fight using 17 custom developed servo-motors, 19 integrated circuit chips, 2 LEDs, voice command recognition, and a built-in gyro-sensor.

The voice command recognition means iSobot can respond to 10 commands, as well as speak hundreds of words and phrases, and perform pre-programmed actions.

And, despite packing in all of this tech, he is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand so you can carry him with you to show off to your buds.
