I cannot see a cat riding any of these prototypes.

I love Roomba Cat!!
Nice to see Kismet and Pleo clone again! Many interesting robots do not cross the chasm from research to product. Becoming a product is very difficult.

The six legged crab robot is a little too creepy looking to be a mainstream product.
It's no wonder most robots don't become products. Consumer sentiment is tricky.
