The Homebrew Robotics Club

The Homebrew Robotics Club is the successor of the famous Homebrew Computer Club. It is located in the Silicon Valley and the website did not give that much appealing information, apart from useful stuff when you live in California and can meet up with the guys. At least I found some footage on flickr that looks really neat.

Pleo - Hug the Plush Robot

The Pleo from Ugobe Lifeforms are a new series of home-robotics. It is somehow a plush-version of the Aibo, but - and maybe that talks about the shift - is not a plastic dog, but a plush dinosaur. I don't know if you can call this cute or ugly. Nevertheless, moves are interesting as so are the yells. And people seem to like it. Nice inbetweener of toy and robot.

WowWee Rovio

Three wheel, wi-fi controlled homebot, that well you can play around with in your house. Pretty useless, but is playing and having fun not about having useless fun? The controls seem to be very upfront. Go to the WowWee website, but be prepared for an unusable flash website.
