World's smallest self-powered bipedal robot achieves record speed and agility with simple mechanical design

At less than one and a half inches tall, roughly the same height as a LEGO minifigure, the world's smallest self-contained bipedal robot can self-start from standstill, walk faster than a half mile per hour, turn, skip, and ascend small steps with just the power of its on-board battery, actuator, and control system.

World’s Smallest Self-Powered Bipedal Robot Sets Speed Record with Simple Design

A miniature robot named Zippy has set a new benchmark in robotics by becoming the world’s smallest self-powered bipedal robot, capable of walking, turning, skipping, and climbing steps using only its onboard battery, actuator, and control system.
