Pleo Robotic Dinosaur

Pleo Robotic Toy Dinosaur - Latest 2009/10 Model

PLEO - The most advanced real life robotic dinosaur

Pleo is a life-sized replica of a real Camarasaurus as it would have looked as a newborn. Fortunately, Pleo won't grow to the intimidating 60-feet like its real-life counterparts when the herbivore roamed North America and parts of Europe during the late-Jurassic period.

What Pleo will do is entertain you, along with your family friends as it comes to life before ultimately displaying a range of emotions, animal sounds and reactions to its environment. Pleo isn't real, but its design and lifelike features may make some take a second look.

Pleo at times may be happy and playful one moment and sad a few minutes later. At times, Pleo may appear to be surprised or frightened. Left unattended for too long and he's likely to curl up and go to sleep like a dog.

The battery-operated Pleo was created by UGOBE. Based in Emeryville, California, is the source of cutting-edge robotics that transform inanimate objects into lifelike creations that, like a real pet, are packed with emotions and crave attention from humans.

UGOBE Life Forms look, move, and behave in such a way that they appear to really be alive. A combination of sensors, cameras, speakers, software and other technology all combine to create a robotic dinosaur with its own organic body language, exhibits evolving emotions, is aware of his surroundings and has recognisable behaviors that change over time. Pleo's "heart" is provided by UGOBE's Life OS, operating system software that not only brings him to life but also provides each with its own unique personality different from that of any other Pleo.

Pleo - Emotions

• Pleo's natural disposition is alert and inquisitive. He ambles about with a bright eye, swaying tail, and leisurely pace, content to explore the sights, sounds, shapes, and textures of his world—and that, of course, includes you.Pleo’s Emotions
  
  What determines how Pleo feels?
  UGOBE’s™ Life OS is a complex software system that combinescore behavioral instincts (e.g. the need to eat, sleep, explore,interact) with the ability to respond to and interpret external
  stimuli (e.g. sound, light, touch, objects).
  
  For example, if Pleo:
  
• Has not been interacting with anyone or receiving any external stimuli, he may get bored and take a nap.
• Is feeling adventurous, he may choose to venture off on his own.
• Is feeling hungry, he may learn to satisfy his hunger by wandering off and grazing on his own.
• Has recently eaten, he may want to play tug of war.Pleo’s response to his environment depends on how he feels at the moment. The intensity of his moods may also vary.
  
  He may feel:
  
• Very happy
• A little sad
• Somewhat curious
• Extremely scared
• Or something else altogether.
  Play with Pleo and get to know him. Keep track of moods. Figure out for yourself what makes your Pleo tick!

Evolution

A new Life Form opens his eyes for the first time. Awareness glimmers as Pleo adjusts to the light. His limbs try a tentative stretch. The world is a flood of sensations. He'll notice you as soon as he's ready. Watch… Wait… Nurture… Your soft words and soothing touch are just what he needs.

Interaction
