By Omron Japan' Description NOTE: This is a relisting as the person that won the auction could not pay. Up for auction is an extremely rare robot pet. Only 5,000 robots ever created. (2,500 grey and 2,500 ginger) Called NeCoRo by the Japanese company Omron. They were sold limited edition only in Japan. After years of searching, I was able to locate one and have it imported to the US. With a heavy heart I have to say goodbye to him. I have many rescue animals that need my attention and also I don’t give NeCoRo enough time, so he practically new. The cat is in perfect working condition. Flawless. I took great care of him! I even had a tag made for him. He comes with his original box, in good condition for being 7 years old. Manual, papers with code sticker his number is 952 which means the cat was the nine hundred fifty second robot created. He comes with a cat ear shaped charger for the battery, a brand new extra charger never used purchased last year from Omron and a special Nimh battery which was purchased last year. The robot is no longer made which makes him unbelievably rare. This will be I assure you, the only chance to acquire this awesome robotic pet. No other kitty robots can compare to NeCoRo. He is NOT A TOY! He hears, sees, feels and remembers your voice, given name and way he is treated. When activated he thinks he is "real" real mewing, purring, cat behavior: scratching the carpet (not really!) washing of the face, sits, lays, stands up, paws at things interesting like toys and TV commericals for example. Created by a creative company which helps human health their not toy makers. Please contact me for any questions. Below is all about the robot. www.necoro.com is the offical site with video.         "Is this a real cat?" A robot cat you can bond with like a real pet -- NeCoRo is born October 16, 2001 -Omron Corporation (President and CEO: Yoshio Tateisi, Headquarters: Kyoto) will begin selling as a new product a cat type communication robot from November 20. Orders can be placed at Takashimaya (limited to 7 stores) starting October 17, and orders will be accepted by phone or over the Internet from November 3. Available in two colors, gray and brown, sales at this time will be restricted to 5,000 units. 　 Envisioning a society embodying a wide diversity of values, where everyone can live comfortably at peace (what Omron calls the Optimization Society), Omron sees the importance in the realization of a machine that can communicate with humans and understand them. A machine that is gentle to humans and responds appropriately to an individualﾍs needs. Natural communication between humans and machines is made possible with the cat type communication robot NeCoRo. Created with Omron's core sensing and control technology and artificial intelligence technology, NeCoRo realizes natural human to robot communication. Because of its ability to react to human movement and express its own emotions, people pour their affection into this robot and feel attached to it as they would a pet. By living with each other day after day, the person becomes at ease with the robot as it enriches the person's life. NeCoRo, a robot with synthetic fur giving it a feline appearance, introduces communication in the form of playful, natural exchanges as between a person and a cat. Via internal sensors of touch, sound, sight, and orientation, human action/thoughts can be perceived, and feelings/wants are generated based on internal feelings. Using 15 actuators inside the body, it behaves in response to its feelings. It will get angry if someone is violent to it, and express satisfaction when stroked, cradled, and treated with lots of love. Based on its own physiological rhythms, it will express its desire to sleep or cuddle. Moreover, through a learning/growth function, while living with each other day after day, the cat will become attached to its owner and its personality will adjust to the owner. And as it begins to remember the sound of the owner's voice and its own name, it will recognize its name when called out by the owner. <Characteristics>1) Responds to human movement/emotions2) Has feelings and desires, and its personality will adjust to its owner3) Remembers its name and acknowledges its name when called4) Synthetic fur gives it a feline appearance, so it feels natural to treat it like a cat, stroking and hugging it <Specifications> Dimensions Outer dimensions: 260mm x 160mm x 320mm (excluding tail)Weight: 1.6 Kg (when battery is inserted)Fur material: Acrylic (gray or brown) Sensing and recognition Tactile sensors are embedded in the head, chin and back, so it can recognize stroking and patting A microphone is in the head, so it can detect sound and recognize the source of the sound As it's name is called over and over it will remember its name and react when called Within its scope of vision, it can perceive the direction of moving objects An internal acceleration sensor allows it to know its position when cradled or spun around Feeling generation mechanism Equipped with Omron's proprietary MaC (Mind and Consciousness) technology, feelings are generated according to recognition feedback, which isdependent on configurations based on psychological concepts, leading to cognitive decisions andactions determined by these feelings (applicablepatent acquired) Feelings of satisfaction, anger, and uneasiness generated based on recognition feedback Desires to sleep or be cuddled generated according to physiological rhythms Via a learning function, personality traits such as selfishness and the need for attention will change in response to the owner Via a growth function, expressive patterns in reaction to the owner will increase Actuators 4 legs (each with two degrees of freedom), tail with two degrees of freedom, neck with two degrees of freedom, and eyelids, ears, and a mouth each with one degree of freedom, for a total of 15 degrees of freedom.

Thanks for emails but no I cannot get any more. I was very lucky to obtain this NeCoRo a few years ago. There has been none for sale since that time. As of what I know there is only one other NeCoRo in the US. And his name is Max, he belongs to a doctor who uses him as Pet (Robot) Therapy. My friend (who lives in the UK) got one about the same time I acquired mine the same way so none have been seen out of Japan since. Their LIMITED edition robots so please understand and if you want NeCoRo please bid on this auction as this will be the one and only chance to get NeCoRo that I can bet my life on. Another popular question is how NeCoRo learns a given name? Just repeat the name with praise (Like a living feline) and within time, he will remember and respond to that given name.   Place a Bid!
