No Vibrating Pet Massager for my dogs!

It’s disturbing to know that there is people out there that’ll buy this vibrating pet massager for their dogs. If my dogs (Taz & Oscar) think I’m getting this for them, they have another thing coming.

Can a robot find you a life-long companion?

So you're out there in the real world (scary isn't it) trying to find that special someone, but you can't ever seem to find the courage to chat up a total stranger. Now, imagine that you had a monkey that could help you break the ice. No, not a real monkey, but more of a robot monkey. Echo Robotics is hoping that this is exactly what you've been waiting for.

The monkey (or any number of different animals) then informs you through a series of movements that the other person may in fact be someone you'd want to get to know. Read The Full Story
