The World's Coolest Dinosaur

So today my class got the coolest thing ever! Our principal, Mrs. Jones, gave us a PLEO! A Pleo is a robotic dinosaur life form that takes on its own personality and the ability to learn new tricks, behaviors, movements, etc. It is different than other robots because it is not simply a series of stimulus-response commands. It actually senses its surroundings and changes its own behaviors. Having the ability to learn brand new behaviors sets it apart from other robots that have been created. It begs for food, sleeps, gets bored, gets adventurous, plays, likes some things and doesn't like other things, etc. We hatched him for the very first time today with my class and they LOVED him! He is quite possibly one the coolest things I've ever seen!
