Pleo
Designer Robotic Life Form
The Pleo is hotly tipped to be one of the must-have toys for Christmas 2008. So what is a Pleo?
Pleo is a spookily life-like Robotic toy is modeled after a 1-week-old Camarasaurus sauropod, or long neck dinosaur, and incorporates basic traits of autonomous life. Pleo has been specifically engineered to mimic life with organic movement and behaviors that allow him to relate to humanity on a personal level.
The Pleo is designed to move in a fluid, lifelike way, while behaving completely autonomously. Equipped with nearly 40 sensors, including infrared and stereophonic sound, Pleo requires no remote control and is free to interact with his owner and environment.
Made by Ugobe, Pleo's "Life Form Operating System," allows it to use simultaneous sensory inputs along with a sophisticated behavioral platform to act independently and express himself through motion and sound. Pleo can convey emotions, is aware of himself and his surroundings, and evolves in behavior over time.
Pleo's features include:
- 14 servo joints (torso, head, tail, neck, legs) with force feedback
- 38-touch, sound, light and tilt sensors including nine touch sensors (mouth, chest, head, shoulders, back, feet) and 8 feet and toe sensors
- Fluid quadruped motion
- Ability to avoid obstacles and not walk off edges
- Sound output, stereo sound sensors and music beat detection
- Autonomous interaction with owner and environment including coughing, blinking eyes, chomping, twitching, sighing, sneezing, sniffing, growling stomach, tail drift, and yawning
- Distinct moods including anger, boredom, playfulness, hunting, cautious, cuddling, disgust, disorientation, distress, fear, curiosity, joy, sorrow, surprise, fatigue, hunger, and a desire for social interaction
- Upgradeable, Life Form OS and Personality System
- SD card memory expansion
- Ability to communicate with other UGOBE Life Forms
- Rechargeable battery
