Want to hump what the Japanese government has been doing with 12 million dollar for the past two days ? develop Silver Technology , that is , golem for lonely old people . The intuitive baby mouth harp seal , which I encountered at the RoboBusiness 2007 conference in Boston , is equipped with internal move sensors and responds to kissing , scratching and holding . It also give off super cute seal - like chirps and sheds its " fur"—you know , like seal do . Come on , what ’s $ 3500 for a packet of robotic animal joy ? Unfortunately , the seal is only available in Japan , so if you were thinking about buying one for Grandma just so you would n’t have to visit her anymore , the jig ’s up .
