I spy with my cyber eye ...

Computer company ICA Inc. unveils its new robot-shaped PC cover "White Box Robotics" at an embedded systems technology expo in Tokyo June 29, 2005.

The computer cover moves on wheels, guided by remote control and is equipped with a camera that can wirelessly transfer surveillance images to mobile devices.

The technology will be utilized in the future for home security or home care, the company President Shuji Kondo said.

Do you get a hot Japanese trade-show model with it?

The robot is on the left.

Its legs detach and can be used as a pillow.

I have no idea what the thing on the right is.

Hi. (Japanese for "yes.") If I do, I'll see if I can unload her on eBay, 'cause I really don't need a hot Japanese model. Unless she does housework, in which case I'll take two.

This is the older model, from long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away.

Looks pretty big, shiny and pricy for a surveillance robot.
