Joe Pereira. Com coldwell banker realty 227 4756 l As vegas just like a real one this baby Seal looks cuddly and cute but has no appetite for fish. Its a stuffed Plush robot that can replace cats and dogs As pets in hospitals and nursing Homes and in Japan its even used As a substitute pet. Called Paro it bats its eyes when its face is stroked and was on display at the annual consumer electronics show which ended sunday. His whole body is covered by tactile senses so Paro feels your touch and your stroking said its inventor Takanori Shibata of japans National Institute of advanced Industrial science and technology. Shibata said its modelled after baby Harp seals he saw in Canada and recorded their cries to be used in the Seal robot. So Why a Seal cats and dogs we rent considered As therapeutic robots because Shibata said people get tired of these Domestic animals and become critical of them. They find More Novelty in seals animals they dont regularly see he said. The robotic Seal also has artificial intelligence and can remember How it was treated encouraging its owner to Caress it again but it has a kind of a sad cry a negative reaction if its hit or mistreated said Shibata. Paro changes his character depending on the interaction with the owner he said As he stroked the robotic Seal whose cry was a Cross Between a bark and whimper. The robotic baby Seal is used in animal therapy and social rehabilitation for those who cant take care of real animals and in institutions where they Arentt allowed Shibata said. Its artificial intelligence also allows it to gradually recognize its name. Shibata said Paro will soon be available in the United states for us 6,000 and he believes the investment is cheaper than keeping a cat or a dog for a decade. In other robotics at the giant tech show a human sized robot with no arms on two wheels was zipping around looking As if it had just been taken off an alien spaceship. The idea is to allow this humanoid to be in places such As manufacturing plants or offices where a company member cant be. Its controlled by computer and allows the user to talk and listen and to be seen on a Small screen on the robots Chest. Its gender however seemed confusing to people. Its not a woman said Stephanie Holdermann who was demonstrating How its used and also boldly soliciting investors to bring Down the Cost of the $ 30,000 robot. Its an it. It does not really have a gender. The consumer electronics show wrapped up this year with internet ready tvs 3 d technology and Small laptops called netbook As mainstays of the tech fest.
