Okay, so once again I’m late to the game. But this Pleo Dinosaur is amazing - if you’ve got cash to burn for a $349 interactive dinosaur toy.

So, this fully autonomous robot can “fully interact with you” and “through your interactions it actually forms a unique personality”. Moving organically, expressing emotion, autonomously exploring and responding to the world around him, Pleo’s sensory system has sensors that allow him to see, to sense touch and to detect objects using a color camera, sound sensors, 2 infrared sensors, 14 motors, over 100 gears, 8 touch sensors and an orientation sensor.

So the dino knows when you pick it up, roll it over on its back, and will bite you if you put your finger in front of its face. Hmmm. Sounds like a puppy.
