ROBOT PETS

iCat

iCat is an intelligent robot which is fun for children and adults. It has a camera in its nose and two speakers in its feet so it can listen to and understand voices. It can’t walk or chase mice like a real cat, but it can play simple board games by telling you where to move the pieces. Also, iCat can express different feelings by moving its eyes and mouth. It can show you when it’s amused, upset, or frightened, etc. It seems to have a real personality. Scientists have shown that people prefer to play games with a robot with a personality than just a computer. It is also very polite and always asks if it’s OK for it to go to sleep, for example.
