<i>Meet Pleo</i>

A woman feeds a leaf to a dinosaur shaped robot pet "Pleo" during a Japanese launching event in Tokyo on December 6. The Pleo, developed by US company Ugobe, has 14 actuators and 38 sensors on its 48-cm long body and which make it increase in size when the owner takes care of. The robot toy will go on sale across the world this month. Photo: AFP
