Robot Dog Keeps Photo Blog
A Sony Aibo named Pedro keeps a photblog of his adventures. There is a photo journal that he updates himself wirelessly.
"Pedro wanders freely around our house. Every day from noon to 3.30 pm GMT, he takes a photo every half-hour with his nose camera and mails it to this blog through his wi-fi internet connection."
You can also request a photo from him through email.
It's not quite Big Brother because the view is always from 4 inches off the floor.
Or, read the blog with commentary from Pedro's human.
There are also links to dozens of other Aibo diaries.

This is a good example of just how uninteresting photos taken from this height are. Potential robot designers should take note. If you're going to put one or more cameras onto a robot they should be at something like human eye level, perhaps on a boom extending from the top of the robot. At human level you can see things which are much more interesting, such as people's faces and desk surfaces.
sounds like someone has had alot of experience looking in on peoples' private rooms.
