0.04 amp running at about 4000 rpm with no load.

About 0.5 amp.

: Did Anybody use it for small moving robot ?

Yes.  Although they are nice to use with LEGO mobile robots they are
somewhat expensive for a small DC motor.  Several people have been
fitting far less expensive small hobby motors for LEGO use.
