By Evan Ackerman Dinosaurs never go out of style, and it seems as though robot dinosaurs are getting more and more popular, what with Pleo, Kota, and now D-Rex. It may seem like the market is getting a bit crowded, but Pleo (alternate personalities aside) and Kota are missing one critical aspect of dinosaur...

It's over 3-feet tall and could stomp Pleo into dust but its too cute for that. It's designed to let your kid sit on it and it reacts to touch and sound. There's 11 sensors that detect movement, no doubt in preparation for the ...

By Samuel Axon Playskool's Kota the Triceratops is a robot dinosaur that uses 11 sensors to respond to touch and sound by wiggling its horns, wagging its tail and turning its head. It also plays a few "adventure themed songs." Best of all, it can't stampede or impale anyone; like the animatronic Tricerato...

By Samuel Axon Like Pleo before it, Kota's cuteness overpowers all. Don't believe us? Shipments have begun, so you can buy the cuddly robot and see for yourself. All you need is 300 bucks. Or you could just check out the video beyond the cut. ...

By Evan Ackerman Pleo is very cute, but it’s also very small. Too small to effectively ride around pretending you’re a Cretaceous cowboy. If this has been a fantasy of yours (and don’t lie, it totally has been) Amazon has a whole herd of Hasbro’s Kota robotic baby dinosaurs ready to anesthetize, crate, and sh...

By Evan Ackerman It’s obvious that Pleo needs to learn some self defense skills. Painfully obvious. The newest Pleo “personality” turns your little buddy into a “scary, rampaging, fire-breathing” monster. Not sure how they get Pleo to breathe fire via a software update, but I’m excited to find out. As with m...

By Unique Architecture(noreply@blogger.com) Don't be misled. Unlike the truly AI dinosaur by Ugobe, Pleo, this puppy is simply a remote controlled toy. Yes, he barks and walks, etc - but not unless you press a button directing it to do so. That is NOT what AI is about. Do not waste your money on this toy, which is simply a remote controlled item....

By Anton Pleo is an autonomous robotic life form modeled on a one-week-old Camarasaurus dinosaur. The cute-looking robot is designed to mimic life which means Pleo thinks and acts independently, just like a real animal would do. In general, it looks, moves, and behaves in ways that would almost ma...

By Darren Murph What's up with Japan getting all the cool toys first?

By roschler Julie: Here's one from MonkeyMoo, "Is Pleo going to be able to interact with other robots? Such as AIBO?". UPDATE: 10-25-2007] Here's another Maker Faire video I found where SciVestor Chief of Research Ray Renteria asks John Sosoka "Why A Dinosaur?":

By roschler Ugobe sent out a mass E-mail to readers on its update list, updating them on Pleo's production status and anticipated ship date. The wonderful news is that Pleo is officially in production and Ugobe states that those who have preorders from a retailer in the USA will receive their Pleos bef...

By roschler Some vendors like Hammacher Schlemmer are very low on inventory. This is important because they currently offer the lowest price on Pleo. They also have their "famous" lifetime guarantee that works out to be approximately 9 years on a Pleo. There is no charge for the warranty and currently t...

By roschler The Ugobe online store sent out the "30 day shipment" notices today to their "First Hatch" customers today. This is further proof positive that Pleo is shipping soon. The first paragraph of the notice read: Dear Pleo First Hatch Order Customer,

Following the ground laid by Sony’s robotic dog Aibo, Pleo is the first generation of commercial robotic pets that acts so we can form genuine emotional ties with it. I’ve written before about emotional robots such as Paro the seal and been interviewed in Newsday on how emotional robots ar...

By Atticus Wu 我们在开箱 Pleo 的时候，就有一面有读者朋友说我们那篇文章没内容（事实上，如果能把开箱文写成 Pleo 从箱子里爬出来，那可能就不是开箱文，那是鬼片了），也有读者朋友说我们应该拍 Vlog。对啊！拍 Vlog，于是瘾科技的影片团队[1]开始跟踪 Pleo，直击了 Pleo 怎么过鼠年，会不会怕老鼠呢？小道消息指出，因为 Pleo 没有味道所以如狗狗般的动物比较没有兴趣，但小孩子却超爱它的！废话不多说，快来看看 Pleo 的生活日记啰～

By John Biggs So what did I see when he began interacting with Pleo? Well, I realized that he was immediately comfortable with the proposition of a life-like dinosaur in the living room. He is, in fact, afraid of it the same way he was afraid of these miniature horses we saw last summer in Greece. He knows it a...

Pleo is, without question, one of the hottest toys on the wish lists of children across America this holiday season. Ugobe’s robotic baby dinosaur is a wonder, seemingly coming to life once it’s turned on. We were able to get our hands on a brand new Pleo, and as is our custom, we figured it best...

Since I started the holiday season, I've wanted to do a robot Brief, but I'm disappointed in robotics right now. There are some fun robots available and there are some practical robots available, but it seems like we're a long, long way from the robots of our dreams. I've had a Roomba for more t...

By Darren Murph After the months on end of waiting anxiously for UGOBE to actually announce that the Pleo was more than a very lovable piece of vaporware, you'll now be forced to seek other vendors or wait even longer before receiving one of your own. Nary a month after pre-orders went live here in the US, UGO...

By Sandy Maple Now, Chung is hoping to repeat the success of Furby with his newest creation: Pleo, the robotic dinosaur. Scheduled to hit stores sometime this summer, Pleo is Furby on steroids. With 14 motors and sixteen processors, a nose-mounted camera and 30 sensors, this dino can avoid obstacles and...

By Susan Wagner Pleo comes equipped with 14 motors and six processors, which give it what is apparently incredibly lifelike movement. You know, for a dinosaur. The Furbys had one motor and one processor, which could explain why they are now extinct. (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

By Lance Ulanoff It's been well over a year since I first... It's been well over a year since I first heard of Ugobe's super-cute answer to the world's personal robot needs.
