Great news for all of us anxiously awaiting our Pleo robot dinosaurs. UGOBE is in the process of closing a new round of investment dollars that will net it an additional 8 million dollars in capital for manufacturing and new research and development. The most fascinating part of this announcement is that UGOBE has hinted at the creation of a whole series of artificial lifeforms to keep Pleo company. The most interesting part of the article is a comment dropped by CEO Bob Christopher in this quote from him:

“We could create a [robot] that could do things for you. It’s not on the road map yet… but the opportunity is there”

The future is more exciting then ever, stay tuned! For more information on the funding read the entire article.
