Ugobe Pleo the robot dinosaur

No, it's not just a toy dinosaur. Do not be fooled first superficial impression. Yes, it's a robot. But you can see a new form of life, even if made by human hands. Here is a fully autonomous robot dinosaur who acts like live.
Pleo dinosaur comes and talks like a living creature - self-study environment, seamlessly moves and gestures, expresses a wide range of emotions. Pleo develops gradually over time, it incorporates new experiences, learning new tricks and games. The most incredible thing that, depending on how it raised and how it is accessed, a dinosaur Pleo grows into a unique, unlike any other person. Two identical Pleo does not happen! If Pleo dinosaur loved and brought up in kindness, the toy grows bold and playful. If ignored, the dinosaur will grow timid and sad.
Robot "knows" about itself and its environment. It "develops in the behavior of" forming a three-year, and perhaps - and more long-term relationship with the owner of the "personal level". Of course, to be "alive" any robot require high technology. Under the skin of a soft polymer sensors are hidden in the head are sensors that are located in the abdomen pot, 16-bit CPU and a few 8-bit chips. Altogether there are 14 dinosaur servo force feedback, allowing him to move his body, head, tail, neck, legs, mouth, eyes and nose. The total number of sensors, Pleo - 38 pieces. They are even on the toes. Nine touch sensors (mouth, chest, head, shoulders, back, legs), infrared 'vision', stereo, light detection, tilt sensors, and so on. One of the most remarkable abilities of the robot UGOBE calls "organic movement" - is an attempt to copy the movement of living organisms in response to changes in internal and external worlds. For example, "tired" Pleo moving slowly, and "delighted" - vigorously. Autonomous interaction with owner and environment include coughing, blinking, chomping, twitching, sighing, sneezing, sniffing, growling stomach, tail waving and yawning.
What Can Pleo and what it can teach?
At first glance, you just Pleo to enchant his sky-blue, as if alive, trusting eyes and look. In response to your touch, it will proginat back, stretch the neck, tail wagging fun. If it is gently stroking her neck and chin, your grateful pet will sing you a very funny song. Having met for the first time an unknown object, Pleo, narrowing his eyes, funny smell it.
In order for your dinosaur grew faster and was always cheerful, feed him more often. To do this, you will find the complete sheet.

However, there is a good appetite, he may not only his sheet, but any such object on the form - it will come in handy if the kids accidentally lose the original rubber treat.
Other skills you can teach yourself Pleo.

- Two 32-bit microprocessor - the general and visual functions;
- Four 8-bit subprotsessora and fourteen motorized units -
control of movements;
- Two microphones - a rumor;
- Eight sensors on the skin - touch;
- Four detectors on the feet - Recognition of the surface;
- Two speakers - the sound;
- Camera - sight;
- Infrared sensor in the mouth - the taste;
