CONGRATULATIONS!
We are thrilled to introduce you to PLEO rb! You are now the proud owner
of PLEO Reborn, an Innvo Labs Life Form.
All of us at Innvo Labs are passionate about creating robotic Life Forms
that inspire emotional and lasting connections with people.
After a thorough study of PLEO at Innvo Labs, our scientists were able
to isolate and repair a gene which allowed us to rebuild PLEO’s physical
and mental systems.
PLEO is reborn as PLEO rb!
In addition to multiple skin and eye color versions, PLEO rb has been
reborn with the abilities to learn, to be responsive and to interact with his/
her environment and you!
This guide will help you get started and have a brief understanding about
PLEO rb…but it won’t tell you everything about PLEO rb—it can’t!
You see, PLEO rb evolved and is an autonomous creature with a complex
software architecture that enables him/her to:
• Learn and understand your verbal commands
• Express moods and emotions
• React to various kinds of PLEO rb foods and food stuffs
• Know your time, day and night

9
• Sense hot and cold; could get sick
• Better skin sensation
• Better sense of orientation and motion
• Respond to you and the environment
Keep a Plog (a PLEO rb Blog). Track your PLEO rb’s experiences and set
of behaviors on www.pleoworld.com. Compare notes with others in the
PLEO community. And let us know what you discover!
