The editors didn't like

  • Pleo truly needs a way to indicate when his battery is running low
  • Plus the battery only lasts for about an hour and a half of solid play
  • Pleo gets boring fast Are they sure it has sensors? The word "autonomous" doesnt really mean what Ugobe thinks it means
  • Would truly be an iPod shuffle competitor if it supported iTunes or AAC files
  • Pricey. Relatively short battery life. Audible motors. Soft
  • But not smooth skin.
  • Expensive

  • Very women and pre-teen friendly, Easy to use and good sound quality, neat lightshow effects, affordable price
  • Would truly be an iPod shuffle competitor if it supported iTunes or AAC files
  • To the eye Pleo is just an adorable little rubber skinned robot dinosaur. Underneath that skin though is so much more. Sensors, speakers, cameras, IR communication, and microphones. All the mechanisms needed to bring Pleo to life and into your home. Ma...

  • Mimics natural movement well, Very interactive, Good battery life
  • Expensive
  • If you are looking for a way to get out of getting your kids a dog or cat, you might want to take a look at the Pleo. Pleo offers a very similar interactive experience for kids short of following them around, playing fetch and pooping on the rug. ...

  • Pleos emotions are believable Hes pretty cute You can maybe develop for him, one day
  • Pleo gets boring fast Are they sure it has sensors? The word "autonomous" doesnt really mean what Ugobe thinks it means
  • Pleo is billed as an autonomous robot that appeals to both children and adults. Kids might like Pleo—its cute, it coos when you scratch its chin, and it doesnt even have accidents indoors. But adults and teens are likely to tire of the Pleo quickly...

  • Abstract:  For about two months now I’ve been playing with a baby dinosaur — a Camarasaurus from the Jurassic period, to be specific. It coos, barks, shakes, cries and plays tug of war, which squelches all hope that this is a real animal suddenly returne...

  • When I was a kid, my parents bought me my first robot. Except this was in the early 70s, so it wasn’t a real robot - it was a fuzzy effigy, a mechanized kitten thing. The kitten was tethered by co-joined wires to a long battery box which also se...

  • Abstract:  Ugobe's Pleo is the latest "electronic pet" to hit the consumer market, and as such, has received plenty of attention from media and consumers. At $350, Pleo is more expensive than a Furby but cheaper than an AIBO. After spending the last few days toy...

  • It’s the most advanced toy robot on the market (especially when it comes to believable AI behaviour)
  • Price, battery life, it doesn’t actually ’do’ much on a surface-level
  • Pleo can be viewed as a major evolutionary step forward in toy robotics. Its artificial intelligence and advanced sensors make its competitors look prehistoric. However, we’re not convinced that Pleo will make for an enjoyable toy, particularly amon...

  • Abstract:  Yesterday, I found myself washing up and all the while chatting to a baby dinosaur, which was amusing itself in the corner by growling at the rubbish bin. Pleo the baby dinosaur is now one of the household. Indeed, he gets more attention than the cat, ...
