This peppy little fellow is i-Sobot, unveiled Tuesday in Tokyo by Japanese toy giant Takara Tomy. At just over 6 inches tall, it's the world's smallest humanoid robot, the company says. It has 17 actuators to help it move and a gyro-sensor to keep its balance. Its skills include walking and playing the drums.
