Robots are evolving quickly in this day and age. Meet Pleo, the robot dinosaur. Pleo's movements are very life-like; he is able to act independently and responds as if he has genuine emotions. This is thanks to the OS software system developed by Pleo's manufacturer, Ugobe. Pleo is completely sold out for 2007.
TechDigest reported, "Dreams become reality, and only a few months after the interview with creator Caleb Chung was published in Wired, it's now been placed on every geek's favourite boutique, ThinkGeek, to go on sale in October. Pleo the dinosaur doesn't just look the part, he moves and reacts autonomously with both humans and his surroundings, in a 'lifelike, organic movement'. Bit like the three-month old tofu in my fridge, then."
