Bah. Matt, you never told me if that WAS in fact Jason Hervey at the end of the fruit roll up commercial. Too afraid to face the truth??? ;) I am insanely jealous, especially since I entered. Bah.

The first was in the mid-1980s, with stuff like Teddy Ruxpin and especially the Tomy robots: Omnibot, Dingbot (which Matt forgot in his article about them), and Verbot. (Omnibot 2000 and Chatbot came later, and Flipbot and Hootbot came later still.) Around that time there were also "real" robots, such as HERO and HERO Jr. Then in the late '90s came a brief resurgence of robot popularity, heralded by the Furby. And then came Aibo, the robot dog from Sony. Every other robot pet since then, including Rocket, has been a cheaper rip-off of Aibo.<br /> <br /> I hope we see the "Zelda Rap" commercial, which is as silly as the other is odd.

It was part of the "real" robot craze in the 1980s. You had BOB, Andy, FRED, RB5X, ComroTot, and others. And I forgot to mention the Petsters, maybe the first kind of robot pet, which in complexity were sort of in-between the Tomy robots and the robots mentioned above. Yes, I remember Topo.

Those were robotic in the sense that robots made them. What about the virtual pets!? Those were robotic in the sense that robots made them.
