I have never seen a toy like that. It's not only a breakthrough in robotics, it's just cute. You must watch the video at demo to fully understand what i mean. Investors, believe, this will make a lot of money. I've been in that business too.

What is it? ZDNet writes:

14 servo jointslinks (torso, head, tail, neck, legs) with force feedback

38-touch, sound, light and tilt sensors including nine touch sensors (mouth, chest, head,
shoulders, back, feet) and 8 feet and toe sensors

Fluid quadruped motion

Ability to avoid obstacles and not walk off edges

Sound output, stereo sound sensors and music beat detection

Autonomous interaction with owner and environment including coughing, blinking eyes,
chomping, twitching, sighing, sneezing, sniffing, growling stomach, tail drift, and yawning

and much more

But what's important is: Pleo has been specifically engineered to mimic life with organic movement and behaviors that allow him to relate to humanity on a personal level.

Cute. So cute.

Pleo is expected to be available for adoption in Q3 2006 and will retail for a modest $199.
