Although I really, really like dogs, I think they are a lot of work to care for, especially when it comes on top of having kids. And I've often thought that by the time our kids are older, we could probably get a nice robotic dog that wouldn;t need to be walked on rainy days, but would provide much of the actual experience of having a dog.

So it was especially interesting to read the Engadget post on a research study looking at the interaction of toddlers in daycare setting with a robot.
