This robot is more than Robosapien with a fancy paint job, as Spidersapien speaks Spiderman-like blurbs, and is even able to shoot a web. Spidersapien is scheduled for release to coincide with the theatrical release of Spiderman 3.

Pleo is equipped with many sensors, servos, and microprocessors designed to create an artificial intelligence. Pleo learns from his experiences and his environment and will develop its own "personality". Ugobe was at the heart of a controversy when they released two demo videos of Pleo with identically scripted responses. Likely to hit American markets in March, 2007 for $200.
