Korean robot pets to hit global markets
Intz.com, a domestic Internet venture, has signed a deal with Tiger Electronics, a global leading toy vendor, to sell its robot pets based on artificial intelligence technology worldwide.
Under the agreement, Tiger will have marketing rights over a pair of digital pets named "DiDi" and "TiTi" outside Korea and Japan, Intz said yesterday.
[...]Modeled after mice, the metallic pals can sing, dance and play games in response to clapping. Users can feed and teach the intelligent palm-sized toys as they grow, and their character and temperament can be changed; just part of an array of features that facilitate interaction between the machines and humans, the company said.
The company hopes Tiger's worldwide marketing power and networks will help its robot products move into a market pioneered and currently dominated by Sony Corp.'s "Aibo" series.[...]
