Genibo Robotic Pet Dog

For all those that missed out on the Aibo then the Genibo Robot Dog should still prove to be a good companion.

It understands 100 commands and like the Pleo Dinosaur has touch sensors in its back and head so you can calm him down.

Apparently if you leave it alone it wonders around, which is unlike any dog I had, they all seem to lay in the same spot all day.

It also can give you telephone numbers and keep your schedule for you.

It's due out in the near future in South Korea, but we're not sure of a UK release.
