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]

Prague Integrated Transport (Czech: Pražská integrovaná doprava, PID) is an integrated public transport system serving Prague and the Central Bohemian Region, with some services extending into neighbouring regions. It integrates metro, tram, trolleybus, bus, suburban and regional rail, ferry and funicular services under a common fare and coordinated transport network. Since 2021 it also includes bike-sharing services. PID is jointly organised by the Regional Organiser of Prague Integrated Transport (ROPID) and Integrated Transport of the Central Bohemian Region (IDSK). The system uses a common fare and ticketing system across participating modes and operators, with coordinated routes and timetables.
An android is a humanoid robot or other artificial being, often made from a flesh-like material. Historically, androids existed only in the domain of science fiction and were frequently seen in film and television, but advances in robot technology have allowed the creation of similar robots in real life.
Leonardo's robot, or Leonardo's mechanical knight (Italian: Automa cavaliere, lit. "Automaton knight"), is a humanoid automaton designed and possibly constructed by Leonardo da Vinci in the late 15th century. The robot's design largely consists of a series of pulleys that allow it to mimic human movements. Operational versions of the robot have been reconstructed by multiple researchers after the discovery of Leonardo's sketches in the 1950s. Leonardo's designs may have served as inspirations for robotics projects backed by NASA and Intuitive Surgical.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
