i-SODOG robot dog coming in 2013

Fans of robotic dogs will soon have another plastic pooch to put in their kennel. It was recently unveiled at the Tokyo International Toy Show and when it arrives in 2013, it will come with touch sensors, 15 custom servos and a microphone, letting you command it with up to 50 unique voice commands.

i-SODOG will learn and modify its behavior based on those commands. And if you want to be the one controlling the dog, you will be able to use the i-SODOG iOS or Android app or a dedicated controller.

When he arrives in spring of 2013, he will cost you 31,500 yen (about $400). So far there is no word on whether this dog is coming to the U.S. or anywhere outside of Japan.
