CIMG7595 Children cuddle with Pleos, the cute dinosaur-robots. As far as I could tell, a Pleo has a set of behaviors that make him look almost sentient! The way they inspire cuddly feelings in children certainly makes it seem so. Seen at the Maker Faire 2007.

Maker Faire was a two-day event that celebrated arts, crafts, engineering, science projects and the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) mindset. It took place in Austin, Texas in October 2007.
