Sega Toys to unleash Mio

Now isn’t the Mio just an absolute darling to look at? He is yet another dog robot (the popularity of a dog robot still confounds me – how come cat robots don’t reach the same stratospheric heights as it’s canine counterpart?) that gives you the companionship of a real dog (almost) minus shedding fur and poop. The Mio features sensors under the chin, behind its ears, in the small of its back, making it respond to gestures in a similar manner to that of a real dog. Whenever it senses a human around, it will wag its tail while revealing its emotions via the pink color eyes. For instance, whenever it is happy, a lovely pink heart appears, whereas a bone signifies that it’s hungry. Not too sure what you’re suppose to feed it though – batteries? Mio communicates via Mionese and responds to positive reinforcement just like humans.
