PHOTO: Roborior glows blue while gurgling with whimsical buzzes and rings during its demonstration at a Tokyo showroom Wednesday, June 1, 2005. The new gadget that looks like a watermelon-sized eyeball on wheels and glows in hues of purple, blue and orange works as interior decor, but it's also a virtual guard dog because it has a digital camera, infrared sensors and videophone capability _ to notify you of intruders while you are away from home. The 280,000 yen (US$2,600; euro2,100) contraption by Japanese robot maker Tmsuk Co. Ltd. and electronics company Sanyo Electric Co. Ltd. can connect with the owner's mobile phone to relay streaming video taken on the robot's digital camera. (AP Photo/Shizuo Kambayashi)
