I've been waiting for my own robot since the days of "Lost in Space". I'm getting closer, now that "JIBO"  is about to make it's entrance. If you haven't heard, JIBO is a "desktop" robot. It's at it's best when it's being a friendly companion or answering questions. "JIBO" reminds me of WALL-E, but some people say JIBO is just a glorified version of iPhone's "Siri" app since it can't move itself. Watch the crowd-funding video below to see how it will work. Apparently, some of the video is the product of special effects, but the JIBO people say the finished product will be able to do everything you see here.

 

And thanks to WITL listener "Vern" for the heads up on this one.
