\"ropid\"<\/p>\n

Japan has produced many humanoids in the past years, but making them move in one way or the other is usually a challenge. Kyoto-based Robo Garage<\/a> has unveiled Ropid<\/a> [JP] today, a mini robot that runs on two legs and can jump as high as 8cm.<\/p>\n

\"ropid_3\"<\/p>\n

Ropid stands 38cm tall and at 16kg, it’s pretty heavy. The little guy has 29 joints and four gyro-sensors in the body and is powered by a lithium-ion battery. He can react to voice commands, so if you tell him to jump, he will do so. His movements aren’t really elegant but OK.<\/p>\n

\"ropid_2\"<\/p>\n

Ropid (the name is\u00a0 a mix between “robot” and rapid”) is currently just a prototype, with Robo Garage saying there isn’t a release date set yet.<\/p>\n
