Pleo, a one week-old dinosaur, is a robotic marvel and the most exciting new toy for technology fans as well as dino-buffs. He's a baby camarasaurus, a late-Jurassic North American herbivore that grew to 60 feet long, but was exactly Pleo's size as a newborn. Pleo interacts with you—moving organically, expressing emotion, autonomously exploring and responding to the world around him. His unique personality develops based on how you interact with him, and you can connect with other Pleo owners and trade training tips online.

Pleo's sophisticated sensory system has devices that enable him to see, to sense touch, and to detect objects: a color camera, sound sensors, 2 infrared sensors, 14 motors, over 100 gears, 8 touch sensors, and an orientation sensor.
