Feeling a little slow? Now you can get yourself a new brain, at least if you're a Robosapien. Manufacturer WowWee's deal with Evolution Robotics provides their Roboraptor and Robosapien programmable robots with more sophisticated navigation and pattern recognition systems. So now instead of merely frightening your pets, it can ruthlessly hunt them down.

WowWee hints at future deals with other companies, but offers no details yet. Self-awareness, powered flight and crushing human skills underfoot are probably next on the list.
