DigInfo –
The Business Design Laboratory exhibited an autonomous, lifelike robot called PLEO at the Tokyo Gift Show.
PLEO is a dinosaur robot that is modeled after a one week old dinosaur that has newly hatched called the Camarasaurus that lived between the Cretaceous Period and the Jurassic Period.
PLEO moves naturally and fluidly like a real animal. It also changes its mood and behavior based on the attention that it receives and the way it is treated.
When you download a program from the manufacturer’s home page onto an SD card and then insert that SD card into PLEO’s belly, the dinosaur can execute a variety of programs.
PLEO is loaded with a program that gives it the capability to dance while singing to Christmas music. The SD card can store up to 7 songs, and when you tap on PLEO’s back, he changes songs.
