Add article description

Ropid is a tiny robot designed and developed by Tomotaka Takahashi of Robo Garage at Kyoto University.[1] The name of the robot is a combination of Robot and Rapid.

Ropid is a carbon fiber and plastic android that weighs 3.5 pounds. The robot has four onboard gyro sensors and four accelerometers that allow it to operate.[2] This robot can respond to voice commands and has a mouth that moves when it speaks.

In addition to its communication features, the Ropid can walk, run, and jump faster than many other similarity constructed robots. [3] Ropid uses the "bent knees" method to balance, but appears lifelike because of the speed of its movements.[4] Ropid can jump up to three inches off the ground.[5]
