A robot that can interact with pets in meaningful ways is a great goal. This might impact HW, but surely define some specific behaviors where the robot can begin slowly with interactions and develop some sort of "trust" with our dogs and cats. Learned behaviors could evolve and eventually the robot could entertain and play with our critters. Thanks! ~Mike
