Yeah I could see one of those in my house *making all that noise. *either I
would use it or target practice or the cats would run from it

I just heard on the news that the robot pet and the live pet had the
same beneficial effect on nursing home patients who interacted with
one.

A Roomba isn't as personable but does clean the floor.

hahaha! I want one. I plan to use it mostly as a cat toy, if it sucks up
dust, even better!

I've seen demo vids of Pleo. In one they hold the toy by it's neck and
it complains loudly.

But get ready. Remember the movie AI? Well, we're not quite there yet
but I'd guess within 5 to 10 years we'll see our robotic devices with
quite a bit more intelligence and sentience.
