Ugobe Pleo delayed, but for a reason
File this under geeky interesting miscellaneous...Pleo is a robotic pet in the shape of a friendly dinosaur (a Camarasaurus/Morosaurus to be exact) that reacts to light, touch, distance etc, and supposedly learns about its environment over time, so maybe it's more advanced than tardigrades now.
I got an update from Ugobe today that says it will be a bit delayed (December), but on the other hand will now have a camera, more powerful CPUs and motors, and less noisy gears. The site talks about a price point of $200, which is impressive if true.
A risky venture for sure, but I hope they will succeed with getting the dino out the door and to an awaiting audience.
