JapanFest 2009 in Atlanta, featured some of the latest in Japanese technology! Well, it was a therapeutic robot baby seal named "Paro", but don't let your love of cute blind you to this high-tech cuddly beast!
Paro was developed in order to interact with human beings and to make them feel emotional attachment to it. Hence it super-cute and wants to take over the world! It has a diurnal rhythm of morning, daytime, and night, which means it is active during the daytime, but gets sleepy at night. Whew..so it has one weakness. And who doesn't liked a tired sleepy baby? Super-cute, again! Oh wait it cries, too.
