Scott HanselMan's Pleo Review

His review may be a tad out of date, but does everyone that has a Pleo think of it?

The thing is, he reviewed it before the release of the new OS 1.1 update for Pleo's personality. 

Hopefully Scott will have the heart to download the new OS and give it another review!!

£6.6m Fund To Make Robots Friendlier - Report

Apparently scientists in the EU have been giving £6.6m to make robots more friendly so they will be easier to work with humans. This is probably more relevant to my Domestic Robots blog, but I thought many of you here would be interested!

It's amazing how robots have evolved from the Furby to the Pleo and the new range of Wow Wee robots. I think we're in for a very interesting year in terms of toy robots and in the next decade, if more money is being spent on it, I think it'll blow our minds!

Pleo Life OS 1.1 Released

If you've not updated your Pleo recently or just wanted to freshen him up a bit, there's a new update to his Life OS.

You can up date here.

"Update process is easy and clear!"

"He's a lot more lively, talks more in a larger variety of noises, and seems to interact with his surroundings a lot more."

"Helen began coughing and sneezed a couple of times, then made the most pathetic sound - we've all felt the way she sounded with a miserable cold."

"I like the way that Pleo now reacts to abuse, this is much more realistic and really makes me feel for Pleo! I will never hang him by his tail again! That is unless he knocks another coffee mug over with his tail."

"LOVE the sit trick! My daughter has been playing patty cake with Pleo all week!"

Firebox Pleo Sales Video

What do you guys think to the Pleo video from Firebox - looks pretty neat to me:

Improve Your Pleo With A Software Update

You're now able to improve your Pleo with a software updated if you wanted. Other people that have have said that he explores more. Whilst Ugobe themselves have said that with the updatet they have allowed to better "see and detect objects and properly navigate around them".

Also when your Pleo is around other Pleo's their behavouir will change and will start to sing.

It sounds cool to me! I'm just downloading mine!
