She immediately said, “can I have one?” Now I need to find a place that sells robot baby gifts. Oh well, at least she’s a techie.

Well, it seems that the robot has since left Paulie and gotten a job as a professional greeter, not at Wal-Mart, but at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show.  So, does this mean robot companions will be in most homes by 2020?
