Robot Dog Watches Your Weight (So You Don't Have To)

Geniuses at MIT are creating a robot dog, based on the Sony Aibo, that wirelessly monitors your pedometer and food diary to keep you on your WEIGHT LOSS PLAN. If you pig out on a bucket of ice cream, it looks sad and mopes around. But if you stay on track with calories and exercise, it wags its tail and jumps up and down in response to the question "how am I doing?." (props to Vegetarian Organic Life)
