New Robot Dog From Takara Tomy

From Lem at Robots Dreams:

There isn’t a lot of information available yet, but here’s what is rumored so far:

The new robot dog, named the Omnibot i-SODOG, is expected to have realistic dog-like movement utilizing 15 custom designed servo motors. It will feature voice recognition and respond to hand signals using motion detection sensors. In addition to a dedicated remote control that looks similar to the i-SOBOT humanoid control unit, i-SODOG can be controlled using a smartphone. We’re guessing that the interface will be Bluetooth.

My first thought was, “look at that face!” And then I thought, how cool would it be if the company that will release this robot, Takara Tomy, had a Thingiverse page where you could go and download different faces designed to work with their product?
