PoorRobot claims that Picobot is the world's smallest robot. Unfortunately, technical specifications are not available, but the video makes PicoBot look pretty fun. However, until I find out more, I'm still a fan of the Citizen 'Eco-Be' Miniature Soccer Robot. The Eco-Be is an inch high and it plays soccer.
Implications - Miniature technology is the future. The tech industry is constantly minimizing their products so that consumers have something portable, practical and hi-tech to bring with them at all times. Ground-breaking microscopic technology is a huge benefit for consumers looking for ways to be entertained when they're on-the-go and the use of portable yet functional devices.
