Looks pretty cool..go the sites page and watch the video though...shows a Dromie and a Rex as well.

The same robots were in the Robo Sue exhibition at the Field Museum. The dromie is intended to represent Saurornitholestes.

I'd heard about the tracking and face recognition before..but never have actually seen an animatronic with it.

So the question is Blade, are you going to buy one? It's only 350 Gs! ;D

Meh, for $350K they could have gotten the front toes right at least! Or the back! ;D

If I had 350,000 to invest I would have my dream of owning my own dinosaur park a done deal already..they may not be animatronic or state-of-the-art but I would have em' nonetheless... ;D

The T. rex on permanent display at the Natural History Museum has those features...maybe a robot from the same manufacturer?

For $350,000 I would buy some of those nice CM Studios lifesize dinos..and an albino piebald ball python. ;D

I was wondering if the ones at Dino Jaws were as well. Those Velociraptors look strikingly similar. It might also explain how the Dino Jaws ones seemed to follow you if they did indeed have the same technology.

Could you tell if those were able to " breathe " as well ? That's another new feature some have..though that might be Kokoro's creatures.
