Pleo the Dino

News Details


Pleo is an authentic Life Form. Treat him gently like any other living thing. Pleo will let you know how he feels at any moment. That's because he is capable of actual emotions including joy, aggression, sorrow, and fear. He can also yawn, sigh, sniff, sniffle, snore, cough, hiccup, and sneeze.

A pet that doesn't poop on your floor.

Looks like a stuffed animal and not a robot, though it is adorable!

Well, It doesn't look like a robot. I want a pet robot that looks like a pet robot.

"Pleo’s technology is so revolutionary that artificial life form is a more appropriate term than robot"(...)

I Hope i'll live enougth to say "hello" to a robot. that's just one of my biggest dreams...

visual interpitation is much different from artificial emotions.  emotions are way easy to emulate, my bot has that ability. 

i think the greatest thing about pleo is that it shows that moore's law is starting to kick in for robotics as well.  think about it...  2 years ago, a robosapien, a robot without any emotion emulation or ai of any kind cost what this robot does...  in 10 years, think about what will be available for robotics in an affordable package.

I like how he looks shocked when he reaches the end of the table.

When they capitalize Life Form, you know something's up. Lar knows where it's at.

"That's because he is capable of actual emotions including joy, aggression, sorrow, and fear."

THEN YOU WOKE UUUUP.
They've only just been able to make a robot which can understand it's own reflection in a mirror.
I think they mean to say 'he is capable of faking actual emotions..'
