[shmqmtks] Robot pet

Create a robotic pet that seemingly lives in a cage and exhibits complex behavior.  I think we can do better than the various caged pets people keep these days.

Actually the pet and the cage are part of a wireless system bedecked with sensors which also includes a powerful remote server to compute the behavior.

Attempting to go halfway between the Aibo which must handle a completely uncontrolled environment and a virtual pet which lives inside your computer monitor (so glows).  (But LCD does not glow.)

Vaguely a mechanical screensaver.
