CuteBitz has announced the availability of the Tomy Choro Robo Q, a teeny robot measuring in at just 3.4cm tall.

Weighing less than 12 grams, the Robo Q is likely to be the smallest walking robot you've ever clapped eyes on and it can walk at three different speeds, and head left and right.

In addition to perambulation, the Robo Q can chase his included football and avoid obstacles.

Robo Q is controlled via a remote, which also acts as a storage bay, with 20 minutes of charging good for around 5 minutes of action.

CuteBitz is offering the diminutive device now for ?19.99.

The makers of BigDog have unveiled PetMan, a biped robotic that could be used to test military suits that might one day protect soldiers in chemical warfare.

Boston Dynamics describes the machine as a "biped robot that balances dynamically using a human-like walking motion. It is a close relative to BigDog, sharing elements of the mechanical design and control".

Hit play on the video above to see PetMan in action at speeds over over 3 miles per hour - even a sharp shove does not put it off its stride.
