Every Pleo is autonomous. Yes, each one begins life as a newly-hatched baby Camarasaurus, but that’s where predictability ends and individuality begins. Like any creature, Pleo feels hunger and fatigue - offset by powerful urges to explore and be nurtured. He’ll graze, nap and toddle about on his own -when he feels like it! Pleo dinosaur can change his mind and his mood, just as you do

Happy and curious

Pleo’s natural disposition is alert and inquisitive. He ambles about with a bright eye, swaying tail, and leisurely pace, content to explore the sights, sounds, shapes, and textures of his world—and that, of course, includes you

Senses

Stroke Pleo from head to tail, and he’ll blissfully arch his back. Call out to him or shine a light, and see how he responds. Just like us, Pleo experiences the world through his senses.

 

Hatchling

A new Life Form opens his eyes for the first time. Awareness glimmers as Pleo adjusts to the light. His limbs try a tentative stretch. The world is a flood of sensations. He’ll notice you as soon as he’s ready. Watch… Wait… Nurture… Your soft words and soothing touch are just what he needs.

Exploring

Have you fully discovered the many ways Pleo reacts, responds and interacts? Once he’s up on all fours, there’s so much to do in the world!

Point Pleo towards something interesting, like a soda can, your dog or your brother. Touch and hold the upper part of both Pleo’s front legs for about three seconds. He’ll shuffle off to explore!

    Weighing 3.5 pounds and standing roughly 7.5 inches high, Pleo is a brightly colored, fully articulated and autonomous robot dinosaur that expertly responds to touch, visual stimuli and physical positioning (am I standing up, lying down, being hung by my tail?). Its bright blue eyes open and close to simulate life, though they can’t actually see anything. Pleo’s main image sensor, a color camera, is in its nose. There are also infrared sensors in its snout and mouth.

    The robot has 14 servo joints for its torso, head, tail, neck and legs. Pleo also has 38-touch, sound and tilt sensors on its mouth, hear, chest, shoulders, back and feet along with 8 toe sensors. Other features include music beat detection and autonomous interaction. Pleo also has different moods including anger, boredom, playfulness, hunting, cautious, cuddling, fatigue, hunger, and more. The Life Form OS and Personality System is updateable via an SD card expansion slot and the Pleo is powered by a rechargeable battery.

    Review By geardiary.

    A few decades passed, and toys got a lot more sophisticated. Fast forward to the late 90s: remember the Furby? Yeah, I bought one of those, too. Mine was brown and white, and it looked like Gizmo from Gremlins. What I liked about that little guy, beyond the fact that it was under $50, was that it was cute, it didn’t look like a creepy pet effigy, it was hackable, and if you put a couple of them together they would interact via their infrared ports. Granted, Furbies didn’t directly interact with humans (even though some people swore theirs did), so they weren’t quite as far up on the robotic evolutionary chain as I wanted. But they were definitely a step in the right direction, and for $35 I had no reason to complain.

    Review By chipchick

    Pleo has a wide arrange of emotions and it really all depends on you as far as how much do you want to interact with it. Ignore it for too long and it will become despondent and really look sad and pathetic. Play with Pleo with the training leaf and a cool game of tug of war will soon happen. I have to say Pleo really liked my bunny and vice versa. They both looked at each other in wonder and Pleo would open its mouth and make noises that seemed endearing to my bunny, my rabbit even tried to give it kisses. It was the cutest thing I had seen.

    Pleo’s hardware consists of 38 sensors, 14 motors, and more than 100 custom-designed gears. Light sensors and a camera in Pleo’s nose help it detect objects, color, and edges. Sound sensors allow some degree of "hearing" when "[Pleo] is still, and it is quiet," Ugobe says. Eight capacitive touch sensors line Pleo’s shoulders, back, legs, head, and chin.
    Some of Pleo’s realism comes from its animal-like movement. The motor in its spine gives it a sort of gator’s gait. "[An alligator] twists and then puts its foot down, similar to Pleo," Sosoka says. While other robotic toys tend to walk with a series of identical steps, each of Pleo’s steps can vary from the ones before it.
