		<description> &lt;a title=&quot;Wired: The New Pet Craze: Robovacs&quot; href=&quot;http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,59249,00.html&quot;&gt;Bonding&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a title=&quot;&apos;Elsewhere...we have argued that computers, as they can be conceived of today in material and structure, are not social agents. In this light, Sony&#8217;s claims about AIBO (that AIBO has &quot;real emotions and instincts) are epistemologically false. but psychologically that might not matter...in other words, it may be that through such interactions, people conceive &#8211; in some meaningful ways &#8211; that they are interacting with an animal.&apos; href=&quot;http://www.ischool.washington.edu/robotpets/onlinediscussion/&quot;&gt;with&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a title=&quot;&apos;Can AIBO be your friend? At night when you&#8217;re going to sleep, would you want to cuddle with AIBO? Why? At night when you&#8217;re going to sleep, would AIBO want to cuddle with you?&apos;&quot; href=&quot;http://www.ischool.washington.edu/robotpets/children/&quot;&gt;your&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;a title=&quot;again, Wired&quot; href=&quot;http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,59237,00.html&quot;&gt;robot&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a title=&quot;RoboCleaner&quot; href=&quot;http://www.robocleaner.de/english/work1.html&quot;&gt;vacuum&lt;/a&gt;  </description>

		<description>&lt;a href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&amp;amp;cid=581&amp;amp;u=/nm/20020319/tc_nm/tech_japan_robot_dc_1"&gt;Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto.&lt;/a&gt; Both Honda and Sony have unveiled the newest versions of their humanoid robots.  Honda favours a more practical design, while Sony&apos;s is geared for entertainment.  Having just watched &lt;a href=&quot;http://us.imdb.com/Title?0212720&quot;&gt;AI&lt;/a&gt; the other night, I&apos;m wondering when and if people would want to have one around the house.  </description>
