Furry Robot Cats and Chrome Robosapiens

Don't want a robot dog? Sega is introducing a fur-covered robot cat with the odd name of "near me". From the photos it looks a bit like robot zombie cat but it's an improvement over last year's Omron Necoro robot cat which looked like it had been hit by a truck. Even better than fur-bearing robots, Sharper Image has announced a special edition Robosapien available in chrome or metallic blue. Both versions include Mark W. Tilden's signature tattooed on the leg.
