In pictures: How businesses are turning tech into robot toil

The iPal from Avatarmind is a robot for your kids that looks like...well a kid. Standing at 1.05 meters tall and with big black camera eyes, it's supposed to look after and entertain your kids for hours at a time but it comes across as a little creepy. Its skills include answering kids' questions, playing games, and allowing parents to remotely videochat with thier children.
