Hello Kitty Robot
Japan to debut Hello Kitty robot

FANS of Hello Kitty will get a chance to realise their dream of chatting with the hugely popular cartoon character later this year with the launch of a hi-tech robot of the feline. The Hello Kitty Robo, equipped with a camera, speakers and sensors, will make its debut in Japan on November 1 to coincide with the cat's 30th "birthday", a group of Japanese companies said Monday...priced at around ¥400,000 yen ($5,080), by mainly targeting women in their 30s who are among the cat's biggest fans.
More about the robot in French (with kickass diagrams).
