Tired of coming home to an empty nest each night? Try Nuvo. This 15-in., two-legged bot can dance, talk, play music, tell time and even shake your hand. It can respond
to 40 simple commands (like "Nuvo, let's dance") in a Japanese-accented female voice and take pictures
with the Cyclops lens mounted on its head. The 15 motorized joints
in its body allow Nuvo to perform tricks like headstands and head rolls, as well as to roam freely around the house. Nuvo will even take photos and zap them to your cell phone.
