I’ll be doing this to my Pleo, Plindar, a little bit later this week, but most of you with baby dino robots won’t want to wait. Ugobe has released its first update for Pleo, and it looks to be pretty significant.

According to Ugobe, this update will “will allow Pleo to be more animated, interactive, and expressive through a wider range of responses, motions, and sounds. ” All this without changing your Pleosaur’s personality.

Sounds great, right? Get it here.

This first software update will allow Pleo to be more animated, interactive, and expressive through a wider range of responses, motions, and sounds.

More specifically, with this update:

• Pleo is exploring the world a lot more. UGOBE has spent time re-training Pleo how to see and detect objects and properly navigate around them.
• When in pairs or groups, Pleos have surprised us with some new singing abilities…
• Being the social butterfly that he is, Pleo is listening for sounds even while resting. You may wake him up…and he’ll want to join in on the fun.
• Don’t worry, this update will not affect your Pleo’s existing personality!

Software updates are free and Pleo owners can easily download the updates at http:/www.pleoworld.com/shadow/updates. The file can then be transferred to Pleo using an SD card or USB port.
