Korea's Own Robot Pet Dog Unveiled
From what I have seen, Koreans love their dogs! Now, the Koreans are staring to make Robot Dogs.



I love animals also, but it seems Japan and now South Korea are going a little over board on this. The point of having a pet is for companionship isn't it? How loving can a robot dog be?

Quote:
In a good week for unusual canines, the country's first commercially available smart robot dog that understands human speech was unveiled on Thursday.

Robotics maker Dasatech in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province developed two robotic dogs for use as household pets and will exhibit the products in front of Bucheon City Hall on Friday. There have been robotic dogs for research purposes, but this is the first time such a robot that has the ability to understand human speech is being offered for sale.
Full story here.

Probably end up being a toy for rich peoples' little daughters. Dasatech just needs more funding for their work and research.

I just hope they don't invent something like a robot child like that creepy one from the movie The 6th Day!
