I got the impression, though it wasn't stated, that the robot was just an
interface to a system hidden somewhere else (eg the camera shots looked
like they were from the robot's camera, but I wouldn't expect it would have
a video out socket on it, and it would be unlikely that it would store
video itself and play it direct to the TV)- I'm suspecting it just does
video in, audio in and out, and maybe voice recognition and basic video
recognition, and communicates with some sort of HA controller. Does anyone
have more detail on it?

You could just have a little robot with a radio mic built in that followed
you round ;-)

Well the robot dog was =A32500, and served no useful purpose, so I would
guess at least =A35000 ish... ;-(. And PF _did_ say it got annoying after
a
while...
