With Pleo, you can expand your family with a pet from prehistoric times.
The Pleo is a one-week-old dinosaur that will quickly grow to become one of the most fun and exciting members of your family.
This amazing robotic marvel not only moves organically, explores its environment on its own, and interacts with you,
but it also expresses emotions based on its life experiences.
The Senario Pleo begins life as a newly-hatched baby Camarasaurus, and from the moment he starts moving his individuality begins.
Pleo doesn't simply do what he is told; he also develops his own unique personality, moods, and habits that are shaped by the time
and experiences he shares with you.
The Pleo can go from happy and curious to scared and surprised, and from playful and lively to sad and vexed,
depending on a wealth of influences.
From hatchling through infant, and all the way through his juvenile stages, Pleo will grow up and change in personality and understanding.

Evidence that the robotic dinosaur revolution is spreading, this Roboraptor comes fully assembled and ready to roam the earth with his robotic dinosaur cousins.
He has movable arms, a swiveling head, a sweeping tail, and a chomping jaw full of pointy teeth.
Measuring 32 inches from nose to tail, the Roboraptor is a big enough to intimidate any smaller predator that may come along.
While this raptor hasn’t yet developed his full hunting skills, he’s still a lot of fun and comes with over 40 preprogrammed functions, three distinct moods, and the ability to detect things in its path with infrared vision.
He also comes equipped with automatic shutoff and a demo mode.
Roboraptor is steady on his feet, but works best on smooth, hard surfaces.

Wowwee's Roboreptile is an often startling robotic toy that, once you get the hang of its wonky controls, is actually pretty fun.
Like other Wowwee robots, there's a preprogrammed animation that goes off when it is first powered up.
It's impressive: growling, snapping jaws and a whipping tail.
In short, Roboreptile looks like something out of the future and moves like something out of the past.
The Roboreptile has infrared "vision" sensors where its eyes would be and stereo "hearing" sensors on the sides of its face.
Its sounds, though a bit tinny, are menacing.
During a tail swipe, it lets out a sort of Eagle cry, harkening back to the shared avian/reptile ancestry.

Unlike industrial robots, "Mental Commitment Robots" are developed to interact with human beings
and to make them feel emotional attachment to the robots.
Rather than using objective measures, these robots trigger more subjective evaluations,
evoking psychological impressions such as "cuteness" and comfort.
Mental Commitment Robots are designed to provide 3 types of effects:
psychological, such as relaxation and motivation, physiological, such as improvement in vital signs,
and social effects such as instigating communication among inpatients and caregivers.

iCat is a plug & play desktop user-interface robot that is capable of mechanically rendering facial expressions.
This capability makes the robot ideal for studying human-robot interaction.
The robot has been made available by Philips Research (Eindhoven, the Netherlands)
to stimulate research in this area further and in particular to stimulate research topics
such as social robotics, human-robot collaboration, joint-attention, gaming, and ambient intelligence.
