Hong Kong's primary school students set a Guinness World Record and shine on the world stage. They built the world's smallest humanoid robot in the school's robotics lab and was recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records holders as the world's smallest humanoid robot. To achieve this feat, they had to do better, not just build a microrobot. To be a record holder, a robot must be able to move on both feet and move its knees, hips, elbows and shoulders.
The four-member team of Aaron Ho Yat Fung, Isaac Zachary To, Justin Wang Tou Duong, and Ngo Hei Leung broke the record for the smallest robot held by Pakistan's Zain Ahmad Qureshi with their yet-to-be-named robot. For reference, a humanoid robot from a student at Diocesan Boys' School"Shorter than a standard ballpoint pen"。
According to information shared by Guinness World Records, the new smallest humanoid robot is 141 mm tall. It is estimated to be 11 shorter than the previous record holder set by Qureshi3 mm. Although the original intention of creating such a miniature robot was to break the Guinness Book of Records, the people behind it believed that the robot could become one"Small, low-cost, rechargeable, programmable"STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education platform. The small size also makes it possible to mass-produce such robots at a low cost.
The robot itself was first designed in CAD, and then the acrylic panels and 3D printed parts were made and assembled in the school's robotics lab. Subsequently, the students contacted a servo motor manufacturer. The students mounted a servo motor on a 16-channel control board at the rear of the robot to control the robot via onboard buttons and a mobile device.
As shown above**, in addition to being able to move legs and arms, the robot can also be programmed to dance, do kung fu, and even play football. These actions are made up of built-in 74V Li-ion battery driven. The Diocesan Boys Robotics team wanted to open source the design of their little robots, which would further their idea of making STEAM educational workshops fun and affordable.
