The I-Sobot is the cheapest robot in our survey
for less than $250. It comes fully assembled and
has 17 DOF, which is surprising at this price
point. This robot is either an incredible value, or
it is more of a toy than a real humanoid robot.

The I-Sobot has the weakest and slowest servos
of any robot included in our survey. Of course,
the I-Sobot is half the size of the others, so the
servo performance is not really comparable.

This robot was launched in the US in October
2007. At the moment there isn't a large support
community. The I-Sobot does come with an
English instruction manual, but there is no
software or any way to connect it to your
computer.

The I-Sobot is creating a new niche in the humanoid robot market. All the other models in our survey are much larger,
and much more expensive. At 6.5 inches and about $140, the I-Sobot is in a class all by itself. Additionally, the
I-Sobot has an infrared remote control (like your TV remote) and has voice recognition. There is a lot of functionality
in this tiny package. Check out our build report here. You can try it out for yourself by signing up for our Test Drive.
We also tested how good the walking motions are on this robot in our Human Emulation testing here.
Recommendation: The I-Sobot is best suited for those who want to be on the cutting edge, don't want the hassle of
building the robot, or if you are constrained by price. At its current price, you could by 2 or 3 I-Sobots for the same
price as one of the other models included in our survey. However, if you are a hobbyist and would enjoy building and
modifying your own robot, this is not the model for you.
