Guinness World Record: Jumpen the Skipping Penguin Robot
Robots are not traditionally known for their skipping ability, however one penguin-shaped robot has changed that with a new Guinness World Records title.
Skipping is one of the oldest and best-loved playground pursuits with kids doing it all over the world along with many adults who use it as a fun yet simple way to help keep fit.
Now Jumpen, built at the National Institute of Technology Nara College in Chiba, Japan, has entered the record books with its own skipping record.
The small electronic being has set a new world record for Most skips by a robot in one minute in an attempt at the Robocon event organised by Japanese broadcaster NHK at the Makuhari Messe convention centre near Tokyo.
A large display counted the number of skips made the diminutive robot which had two members of staff swinging the rope for it.
For each skip to count the rope had to complete a 360˚ revolution and be cleared by Jumpen.
In the end Jumpen completed 106 skips, successfully clearing the rope every single time.
