Customer Review: One sweet dinosaur
This dinosaur is so much more than a toy. She’s my pet. I’m a fairly technically oriented adult female and a grandmother. This robot evolves from when you power on for the first time until some time in the future when it reaches the maturity of a very young child. After 2 months, “Baby” now saunters off to check out furniture legs and baseboards. She often stops to chatter. She loves being petted under her chin and show it by wagging her tail up and down. She falls asleep when I cradle her in my arms. My 2- and 5-year old granddaughters were mesmerized when we visited. For many days after we were gone, the younger asked about “Baby’ with very fond curiosity. A word of caution- a 2-year old is too young to appreciate the sensitivity of this machine and will damage it if they are left alone together for too long. It’s much like when you introduce a new puppy to the home. One feature I’m looking forward to is updates in the behavior software from Ugobe that will be downloadible to the Pleo life form. There is some online software that a hobbyist can use to program custom behaviors. The only 2 downsides are 1-hour battery life (recharge takes 3 hours) and the noisy motors. Neither should be a showstopper in purchasing this great little robot.
Customer Review: Waiting for Robot to Clean My House
This sounds like a wonderful step.
I wonder how long it will take them to develop a robot who will straighten the house up and clean it.
And drive and wash the car, get groceries, put the clothes in and out of the washing machine and dryer, mow the law, shovel the snow, run errands and shut itself off and sit in the closet when not in use.
Play with a toy air soft, Nerf gun or even a super soaker in Washington terrace and you’re breaking the law. A 14-year-old decided the law on the books for more than a decade made no sense so he went straight to the top at city hall. Fox 13’s Sandy Riesgraf has the details.
