Here's a cool new bot I've just seen - WizKid. It's basically a PC with a camera and motor array as an input device. By default it displays a live video of you, with your face and hands highlighted. It superimposes interactive areas onto the video, so that you can hit them virtually to do things.
It also follows you around by twisting its screen to keep you (one or several of you) in picture, also mapping your friends and guessing at your interrelationships. It learns behaviour and can be used for lots of things we currently have to pick up a device to do, like play music, which needn't be the case.
It's on the Christmas list...
