GDC08: Naked Pleo Gets Fondled

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Thursday, 21 of February , 2008 at 5:14 am

I’m not entirely sure what Pleo was doing at the Game Developer’s Conference taking place in San Francisco this week, but I’m not complaining. I’m somewhat ashamed to admit that despite having written about robots since last August, I’ve never actually seen a Pleo in person until today. And he’s so cute that I want to stab my eyes out with his tail.

Pleo

If you’re not familiar with Pleo, he’s a little robotic dinosaur with all kinds of artificial intelligence. He has cameras, touch sensors, and motion sensors all over his rubbery little body, and his personality (which he has in spades) actually evolves over time depending on how you treat him. He’s $350, available online. After the jump, check out another video of the typical Pleo reaction, which is generally some variation on OMG CUTE I WANT ONE!!!
