A man’s home is his castle. Well now he (or she) can have their very own dragon to guard it. We’re not talking genetically modified Kimono Dragons. We’re talking robot dragons. The catch? The price per dragon is a mere �1.98 million JPY each. That’s about $17,811.85 USD.
Seems like the Jetson’s future of having a domestic robot may be getting closer thanks to Japan. Banryu was created by the Tmsuk corporations and is backed by Sanyo. I stumbled across an article about Banryu on asahi.com today. So I went and checked out the Banryu website. Seems this little guy can detect if someone is in your home or if it’s on fire and it will even ring your cell phone to tell you.
Now I know nothing about robots, but this little guy looks cool and cute in an alien sort of way. The small egg-shaped head comes complete with a cute little Pokemon-esque horn. And fans of Trading Spaces will be happy to hear that it comes in a variety of colors to match your home decor. 
There’s lots of cool pictures on the site (where I got these), including ones of Banryu in motion. But I would like to see more product specs and information in English as I am not lucky enough to speak or read Japanese.
