Could a robot dog help you lose weight?

Posted on September 2nd, 2005 by Nancy in Diet Logs, Dieting, Fad Diets, Weight Loss

After reading this Ananova article about a robot-dog diet aid (”If the user loses weight the dog will dance around, flash lights and play music”), I did a search and found this at Gadgetizer.com:

Researchers at MIT’s Media Lab are working on the development of a robot dog that will watch what you eat and how much you exercise to supposedly help you with your diet. They’re using a modified Sony Aibo dog that will wirelessly monitor your pedometer and food diary to see if you’re walking enough and eating right.

Think something like this could actually work? Hm…
