The smallesthuman - like robotever to exist has been created by a group of four stripling in Hong Kong . measure just 14.1 centimeters ( 5.55 inches ) in top , the lilliputian gizmo is 11.3 millimeter ( 0.44 inches ) curt than the premature world phonograph record bearer , which was built by Zain Ahmad Qureshi from Pakistan in 2022 .
Verified byGuinness World Records(GWR ) , the miniature robot was designed and gather by Aaron Ho Yat Fung , Isaac Zachary To , Justin Wang Tou Duong , and Ngo Hei Leung , all of whom pay heed Hong Kong ’s Diocesan Boys ’ School ( DBS ) . for meet the requirements for the record , the robot had to be capable to walk on two pes and rotate its shoulder , elbows , articulatio coxae , and knee joint .
After designing the bittie appliance using package provided by the schooling ’s robotics lab , the boys then made the acrylic body panels and 3-D - print part . A mill was then contracted to produce a numeral of servo motors , which activate the robot to move its arm and legs .
Speaking to GWR , team phallus explicate that the contraption can walk , take on association football , dancing , and even do kung - fu . Aside from the glory of insert the criminal record books , the youngsters say their motivating for establish the robot was to produce a low - price encyclopedism putz for function in STEAM ( science , technology , engineering , humanities , and maths ) teaching .
By designing the gimmick to be as diminished as possible , they say the costs of mass - production can be keep down , thus making the robot more affordable and approachable for underprivileged menage . “ We also plan to spread - rootage the design and programing computer code to further our objectives of promoting STEAM teaching , ” said team member Isaac .
The robot is powered by an onboard 7.4 - V lithium - ion battery and can be controlled remotely using an app or via buttons on a instrument panel that sit down on thehumanoid ’s back . Widely praised for their ingenious creation , the DBS Robotics Team join a grow list of tiddler to have rack up the tidings in recent calendar week for their scientific endeavour .
In Canada , for instance , an eighth - grade scholarly person has received a lot of accolades after recreating a " death beam " that was originally designed by the Ancient Greek inventor Archimedes more than 2,000 twelvemonth ago . Over in Australia , meanwhile , an eight - year - old girlfriend is currently authoring a scientific paper about magpie and their tendency toswoopon denudate - headed men .
