The Robot Lab
|
Most people will have either heard of the Sony Aibo, or at least seen it on TV. They'd know what you meant if you said 'that silver robot dog thing.' The Sony Aibo has been kicking around on the web since 1999.
The idea was to create a robotic dog, complete with artificial intelligence. An entertainment robot. Sine it's early release, it has changed it's shape a great deal. The initial version was a pretty bland and unlovable thing which looked like a robot dog who'd had his fur stolen. But Sony went to work on the Aibo and made him into a much more lovable character, working in features like a wagging tail, a cute face and even dog-like ears. |
