AlphaOmega iSeePet Web Cam Pet Feeder

Topic:

TechTV reviewed this crazy pet gadget. The iSeePet Feeder has a built-in web cam, so pet owner can see their darling over the internet when away on vacation or bored at work.

Review Summary:

The autonomous robot can communicate via wireless LAN (802.11b), IR and bluetooth with other devices in a networked home.
The built-in Video Camera can also be used to take photos and send them via i-mode to a mobile Phone.
The robot moves around by itself and avoid obstacles automatically.

It kinda looks like a mini R2D2
