Hate to say it, but Pleo ain’t got nothing on Sparky. Created by five interaction design master students, this robodog actually responds in sensible ways to positive / negative scenarios going on around it. For instance, the creature will drop its head, whimper and collapse down if faced with “carbon monoxide, cigarette smoke, alcohol, too much dark lighting, hitting and yelling.” Consequently, he’ll perk up and show signs of excitement when standing in broad daylight or going on walks. All the pluses of having your own pet, minus the excrement and doggy daycare costs — brilliant! Peep Sparky’s day out on the town after the jump.
