Nabaztag 2
Nabaztag is not your average robot. For starters, he’s a bunny, he does tai-chi, and he isn’t obnoxious. He communicates with all your wi-fi objects to do neat-o stuff like tell you the weather conditions, read your favorite blogs out loud, answer the questions you ask him (with the help of the internet and his bunny network) and receive emails and text messages from your friends and family, which he relays to you. Nabaztag even senses non-wi-fi objects like your keys, sending your worried spouse a message to let them know you’re safe at home once their presence is detected. The smarty pantses at Science Magazine are even saying that he represents is a big stepping stone to AI, primarily thanks to Nabaztag’s nack for communicating effectively with natural language. The weirdest thing about this little robot (aside from him being brilliant, I mean) is that he’s not too pricy, clocking in at under 200 bucks a bunny.
