Robots

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology plan to use Sony's Aibo to help people fighting to loose weight.

The dog would be connected by radio to the bathroom scales, a pedometer and a personal organiser in which the owner would note his daily food intake.

Asked "How am I?" the robot would tell you, just how fat you are - I Kid. The robot would either jump excitedly, play funky music and flash coloured lights, or flop down and play a dirge, according to whether its owner has followed his or her diet reports Reuters
