Now, a robot to guard your house

Stores across Japan started taking orders on Thursday for the Roborior - a house-sitter robot with watermelon-sized eyeball on wheels that glows purple, blue and orange - continuing the country's love affair with gadgets.

Roborior can function as interior decor, but also as a virtual guard dog that can sense break-ins using infrared sensors, notify homeowners by calling their cellular phones, and send the owner's cell phone videos from its digital camera.
