Photos: Robots as toys, tools and teachers

The Netoy, from Korea-based IZI Robotics, is similar to the Nabaztag Wi-Fi bunny. Netoy can connect to the Internet to receive and read out loud e-mails with many kinds of content, including weather reports. It can also act as a voice mail service and double as an MP3 player. Netoy communicates with movement as well as lights to display emotion.
