Robot : http://www.pleoworld.com/ Pleo is a robotic dinosaur designed to emulate the appearance and behavior of a week-old baby Camarasaurus. This species of dinosaur was selected because its body shape, stocky head, and relatively large cranium made it ideal for concealing the sensors and motors needed for lifelike animation. According to Ugobe, each Pleo will "learn" from its experiences and environment through artificial intelligence and develop an individual personality. Pleo was designed by Caleb Chung, the co-creator of the Furby (300 Euros)‏
