Attack of the Clones

Attack of the Clones
DasaTech Genibo
Last year, Sony put its line of Aibo robot dogs to sleep to the dismay of a small, but devoted following of bionic canine lovers. Thankfully, Korean manufacturer DasaTech has pulled a 'Pet Sematary' and resurrected Aibo in the form of Genibo (left, short for 'Genius Robot').

The Genibo trots around your house avoiding obstacles. It understands about 100 voice commands and can spout back phone numbers and calendar appointments. It even has a built-in camera that can transmit snaps to a PC via Bluetooth -- just in case you want photos of all the legs Genibo has been sizing up as potential mates. No word yet on price or availability.
