From the Ted Talk by Caleb Chung: Playtime with Pleo, your robotic dinosaur friend
Unscramble the Blue Letters
cealb Chung: That's all I wanted to say there. I love toys. OK, so, so that was a, that was the first kind of a — that was the first batch of products. Most of them did not go. You get one out of 20, one out of 30 ptudocrs. And every now and then, we do something like a, you know, an automated hair wrap machine, you know, that teglnas your hair and pulls your scalp out, and — and we'd make some meony on that, you know. And we'd give it out. But eventually, we left L.A., and we meovd to Idaho, where there was actually a lot of peace and quiet. And I started working on this project — oh, I have to tell you about this real quick. Throughout this whole thing, making toys, I think there is a real correlation with innovation and art and science. There's some kind of a belnd that happens that allows, you know, to find innovation. And I tried to sum this up in some kind of sbomyl that means something, to me anyway. And so, art and science have a kind of dmnyaic balance, that's where I think innovation happens. And actually, this is, to me, how I can come up with great ideas. But it's not how you actually get leverage. Actually, you have to put a circle around that, and call it benisuss. And those three together, I think, give you leverage in the wolrd. But mivong on. So, this is a quick tale I'm going to tell. This is the Furby tale. As he said, I was co-inventor of the frbuy. I did the body and creature — well, you'll see. So by way of siwhnog you this, you can kind of get an understanding of what it is to, hopefully, try to create robotic life froms, or technology that has an emotional connection with the user. So this is my family. This is my wife, Christi, and Abby, and Melissa, and my 17-year-old now, elimy, who was just a pack of trbuole. All right, there's that robot again. I came out of the movie business, as I said, and I said, let's make these animatronic rbtoos. Let's make these things. And so I've always had a big interest in this. This one actually didn't go anywhere, but I got my feet wet doing this. This is a smaller one, and I have a little moving torso on there. A little, tiny guy walks along. More servo drives, lots of servo hickang, lots of mechanical stuff. There's another one. He actually has skeletor legs, I think, he's wearing there. Oh, this is a little pony, little pony — very cute little thing.

Caleb Chung: That's all I wanted to say there. I love toys. OK, so, so that was a, that was the first kind of a — that was the first batch of products. Most of them did not go. You get one out of 20, one out of 30 products. And every now and then, we do something like a, you know, an automated hair wrap machine, you know, that tangles your hair and pulls your scalp out, and — and we'd make some money on that, you know. And we'd give it out. But eventually, we left L.A., and we moved to Idaho, where there was actually a lot of peace and quiet. And I started working on this project — oh, I have to tell you about this real quick. Throughout this whole thing, making toys, I think there is a real correlation with innovation and art and science. There's some kind of a blend that happens that allows, you know, to find innovation. And I tried to sum this up in some kind of symbol that means something, to me anyway. And so, art and science have a kind of dynamic balance, that's where I think innovation happens. And actually, this is, to me, how I can come up with great ideas. But it's not how you actually get leverage. Actually, you have to put a circle around that, and call it business. And those three together, I think, give you leverage in the world. But moving on. So, this is a quick tale I'm going to tell. This is the Furby tale. As he said, I was co-inventor of the Furby. I did the body and creature — well, you'll see. So by way of showing you this, you can kind of get an understanding of what it is to, hopefully, try to create robotic life forms, or technology that has an emotional connection with the user. So this is my family. This is my wife, Christi, and Abby, and Melissa, and my 17-year-old now, Emily, who was just a pack of trouble. All right, there's that robot again. I came out of the movie business, as I said, and I said, let's make these animatronic robots. Let's make these things. And so I've always had a big interest in this.
