Read more about Pleo and my meeting here!:

http://www.robotsrule.com/pleo/2007/04/i-met-pleo-part-i.html

This video is made from video footage I shot of my April meeting with Ugobe in Boise, Idaho. It shows the lovable Pleo dinosaur in action along with Ugobe founder Caleb Chung and Chief Technology Office John Sosoka.

Note: I have an inexpensive video camera. Combine that with the fact the coffee shop was noisy and that many people were talking together, and you will understand why I redid the audio. I did not want these elements to take away from the magic and awe I felt watching Pleo. However, the video is 100% Pleo and the sounds are too. The music was something I added to help convey just how I deeply I was moved at this powerful event in my life.

  • How long did you take to develope this beauty, and what was the most difficult part do achieve?

  • Thanks, but I didn't make Pleo, Ugobe did.

  • I got Pleo for Christmas. He's so...lifelike. BTW, could you give me the MP3 of the song you used for this video, or tell me what this song is called?

  • The song is now called "A Moonwalker's Night Dream" in honor of Moonwalker the Pleo; it's one of the video responses. The song is something I wrote and I haven't put an MP3 up yet of it.

  • why is there wires all out his leg :d

  • It's a prototype from 8 months ago. The Pleos shipping now aren't like this (of course). :)

  • umm...in 50 years? technology is moving by 100 times faster than you think. In 5 years there's going to be even more "intelligent" machines. In 50 years half of your best friends will be robots.

  • Oh noes! The umbilical cord is still hanging out! ^^

  • @creatures184 that is just his infrared :) It is perfectly normal and you can see it on many Pleo videos :)

  • He is so cuuuute!!! No joking, i have a Pleo too :) But it always seems video's of Pleo seems to be much more adorable.. I made a video of him this morning and found some wierd white light in one of his kinda nose holes at the front.. I watch my video and got really freaked out by the white light, could someone tell me what it is? I thought it could be him trying to communicate with my camera thinking it was another Pleo, or was it just detecting colour? It was the left bit just near his mouth

  • that was so touching! I CRIED!

  • awhhh

    

  • I wish it had more flesh-like body

  • Yah Interesting music.

  • Pleo's pretty awesome! Now, let's see them make a baby velociraptor with the A-Life qualities of Pleo for us who like carnivous dinosaurs a bit more (because the roboraptor sucks compared to Pleo and it's creator)

  • the guy with the the dark curly hair is caleb chung. He created pleo and it costed him 10 mil and took four years of super hard work

  • its just robot, its just robot its just robot... screw this... ITS SUPERCUTE xD I want one

  • The song makes it so sad!! *sniff sniff* must buy one
