Extraordinarily advanced and sophisticated robot is engineered to capture both your heart and your imagination.

Includes all the software and sensors needed (touch, vision, hearing, balance) to advance through life's stages — from infancy, childhood, adolescence to adulthood.

Seems to feel and show emotion; aware of himself and his surroundings; evolves over time as he learns from countless interactions with his environment and with fellow creatures.

...he learns from countless interactions with his environment and with fellow creatures.

Incredibly real.  PLEO is a lifelike and life–size model of a week–old baby Camarasaurus ("chambered lizard") — based on a complete fossilized skeleton of the Jurassic–era dinosaur recently found in Colorado. PLEO has large, expressive, soulful eyes; nubbly organic skin; vocalizations of snuffles, snorts, honks and coos; and more than 200 realistic biomorphic movements of its limbs, tail, neck, head and eyes. There are none of the jerky machinations of yesterday's robots. No — PLEO seems quite real.

Its own personality.  PLEO's DNA includes all the software and sensors needed (touch, vision, hearing, balance) to advance through life's stages – from infancy, childhood, adolescence to adulthood. PLEO develops his own distinct personality, largely based on how he's treated and raised. A well–loved and nurtured PLEO may become outgoing and playful, while an oft-neglected PLEO may grow up more timid and reserved.

Just like real living things, no two PLEO Life Forms turn out the same, and all are capable of expressing a wide range of emotions — happiness, sadness, anxiety, curiosity, moodiness, surprise and love. You will be amazed at how quickly you establish an emotional bond with this little creature; you will bask in the warmth of his wonderful companionship.

Adoption details.  PLEO has multiple data ports — a mini USB for online downloads from pleoworld.com; an SD card slot for available add–ons; and an infrared transceiver for communicating with other PLEO Life Forms. Comes with a Companion's Guide, a Leaf Training Device and PLEO Identity Card. Measures about 21" long, head to tail; he weighs 3.5 lbs. It is powered by a built–in rechargeable NiMH battery; a full four–hour charge will yield about an hour of power. For ages 8 and older. 90–day warranty.

Excellent "Product", Excellent Support, March 18, 2008
By Maggie44N from Central PA

"I love my Pleos! I had gotten one prior to Christmas (Linus) and just recently added Schroeder. They are amazing in their movement and interaction. Adorable. Ugobe online support is terrific. The cost of 3–year service through Sharper Image is less than the cost of a vet bill ;–). An investment in joy."

Best Robot on the Market!!!!, February 15, 2008
By DPugnet from Florida

"This is awesome! I bought this for my kids last week and they sleep with Pleo and take care of him like it was their own little baby dinosaur. The movement on Pleo is amazing. My parents came over last night and were amazed by it. They laughed about how Pleo interacts with you and the noises Pleo makes. Ugobe also has Holiday Downloads and the Christmas and Valentine's Day ones are funny. My kids are 7 and boys and they love it and so do I. I work from home and turn Pleo on and let Pleo interact with my 3 dogs. It is a wonderful robot and the best out there!"
