Sony To Release New Pet Robot By Year's End
tewl writes: "Saw this [article on CNN] : Sony Corp. said on Thursday it will begin selling a new pet robot by the end of the year as a mechanical pal for its popular 'Aibo' robot dog. 'It will be a friend of Aibo's, but we can't say anything more about it,' a Sony spokeswoman said. Further details, including the robot's launch date, will be announced on October 12." Name the robot here! Sony won't care, but if you're right, you can tell all your friends months from now that you just knew it.
That's the model of my stereo receiver. :)
Guess it wasn't so forgettable after all.

What about Metalli:cue:cat? A MP3 player that they'll give away for free at RadioShack and Sonic, supposedly to play heavy metal MP3s, and when you decide to play any other kind of MP3s on ityou can have fun receiving Cease & Desist letters from their legal department.
Hours of fun, I'll say!

Did you hear that Billy Blanks is making a new robot too? Yeah, TAibo.
What kind of geeks are you? I haven't read one post refering to Doctor Who's robotic dog K-9. The first dog should have been named K-9 and had a sonic screwdriver for a tale.
ok.....so I didn't use the 'proper' phonics (my parents didn't buy those phonics books for me...what where they called?) for it.....it worked though, I thought! Thanks for correcting it though.....!!

Rumor, New Sony Robot "Aibo 3.0" links to Playstation2.
Hmm, Another ploy to buy More Sony... OK I will.
How about a voice activated AIBO, to link to my sony entertainment system..
Aibo play MOBY, Aibo play Caligula....
I smell a 21st century Barbie-like Aibo dynasty beginning. How long before we have protest groups saying real dogs are becoming constipated cuz the impossibly-neat Aibo never takes a dump?
The 2nd Generation of Sony Entertainment Robots is here.
It looks kind of like a cat, with its small ears and small tale. But I think it is still a Dog.
It recognizes it's Name and a Voice commands (50 words in all).
It can take snapshots via voice commandand and also has a optional wireless LAN card!
I guess I will skip on that new laptop and get a new pet.
http://www.aibo.com/
If AIBO was anything to go by, these are very low quality and may stop working at any time. After I gave my AIBO a bath, it never was the same...
Uh...
"Bo," in Japanese, means "stick" or "pole." So an Aibo is a "Lovepole" (sort of).
So:
1) That's one more thing to add to my "Reasons why Japan is the coolest place in the world (sort of)" list.
2) I vote for "Hosubaggu" as his new friend's name ("Hosebag" (sort of)).
Your mouth is like Columbus Day.
Aibo, a 27-cm-tall (11 inch) dog-like robot that can go for walks, chase after a ball and wag its tail, went on sale in June 1999, priced at 250,000 yen ($2,290) in Japan and $2,500 in the United States.
I am heavily interested in robotics, and the field of personal robotics holds great promise. But $2500 for a glorified children's toy? I wonder what the new one will cost?
That said, to the extent that Aibo and its progeny increase public interest in personal robotics, they are a good thing. Back in the 80s, I figured that by now we'd be able to buy a useful household robot for $2500 or less. I can only hope that when the novelty value of robot pets wears off, people will still be interested in and will pursue household robotics.
I think it's quite obvious what the new name will be. CRAPFACE.

Hopefully they've gotten to a point where they won't need to charge $2,500 for one of these things. Of course, if they've put in alot more R&D into these new ones they'll still be too expensive for most of us.
It's spelled "AIBO" not "Iabo".......

Well, it seems that the product name either be a competely forgettable alphanumeric designation (STR-1011) or, more likely, something with four letters.
I can guess three of them -- "a", "i", and "o"

Quoting from last E.C. and B.B. King CD's booklet: "I want to thank [...] and most of all Melia and Aibo for their love and support ... E.C."
I hope he called some pet "Aibo" (which may be a TM issue...), and he's not thanking a robot for his love!
Wow, thats one thing we need more of; overly cute over priced toys will be the cause of our socity's downfall.
Buying a Dell computer is equivalent to dropping the soap in a prison shower.
All I can say is that you'll probably be able to put a memory stick up its butt.
I think it is just a little obnoxious that Sony and other manufacturers are calling these creations 'pets'. To me, a pet is something a little more cudly than hard grey plastic with a circa year 9000 space-visor.
I hope Sony decides to make their next creation soft and comfy. Something that would jump up on the couch and sit on your lap. That'd be really great for appartment dwellers (like myself) who aren't allowed to have pets in the place. The current crop seems like some kind of semi-mobile remote control.
Even so, it's no replacement for a real pet. Just knowing it's programmed to keep you company seems shallow. Maybe if they threw in some nasty tendancies, such as, the bot-pet attacks you from time to time and makes messes...it's just part of the fun.

Have you ever been to Japan? Have you seen how "American" it can seem/be? Apart from the obvious language difference, walking along a Tokyo street (small as it may be) and passing Wendy's, Mac's, Burger King, Starbuck's, Toys'R'Us, etc....you start to wonder if you aren't back in Kansas after all.....
We "Americans" have totally restructured this country in the past, oh, 50 years......so don't go bitchin' about how the Japanese are trying to "Japanize" you freaks (me included) !!!!!

So, imagine this: You are the not-so-happy owner of an Aibo pet dog named, - well "Aibo". After the initial joy about the dog is over, you are starting to get frustrated: You need to walk the dog, feed (recharge) the dog, and the d... dog will pee on your favourite carpet. Personally you'd rather be having a beer.
In comes "The new Sony Pet Robot(TM)": (S)he will be able to do all the chores with your pet robot dog: Walk him, feed him. And also to thow the carpet out when the dog has peed on it.
The pet robot will even take the pet robot dog to agility training every Sunday afternoon while you are hosting a barbercue.
Need I say more?
I am a cat. I like Aibo (see URL above).
RAMBo will be a mechanized gnu which will attach to Aibo's back, adding memory resources and allowing him to run Linux.
Insert groan here.
Don't diss the dog, man. If it sells well, pretty soon we'll have robotic chicks... think about how much money you'll save by not having to wine and dine them to get some... not to mention the time you'll save by not having to cuddle. Flip a switch, do your thing, turn it off, then make yourself a sandwich =)

This product is the epitomy of the ostentatiousness of today's society. Think about it, this AIBO can't do anything and it sells for $2500? For $2500, you can get a very much more useful computer or donate the money to a worthwhile cause. Sure, AIBO is a technological marvel but pratically, it is a piece of rubbish. Are people too lazy to get a real pet and show some responsibility?
No, this is not a joke ;)
Sony is giving away, at cost sony legged robot research prototypes for, of all things, a international robot soccer competition to spur research into artificial intelligence and robotics.
Have some under-utilized grad students in a computer science department? Get them to work on preparing research software, [and get some local sponsership in the neighborhood of (I'm guessing roughly) [15,000 - 25,000] dollars, and you may get to have some real fun to justify all those boring years spent in stuffy classrooms studying how to convert certain classes of NDA's into DFA's !!!

Perhaps THIS is the reason there's a shortage of Playstation2s... they're using all their chips in a fucking robotic dog... But the question is: is it backwards-compatible with our current pets?
The first, "Slobbo," will drool, laze all over the couch, (see first activity and reflect on what your couch will look like in a month,)drink out of the toilet, eat your food out of your plate, drink your beer, fart, occasionally eat grass, blow chunks and then eat it, lick its balls, pop a stiffy at the person you hope might have become an S.O. (before they met "slobbo.")
The second, "The Howling", will greet all and sundry with deafening, siren like howls before jumping all over them while growling, baring its teeth and peeing on their chest.

Maybe i'd name it after the evil competitive robotic dog that George was going to replace Astro with on the Jetsons
If we're naming it after a robodog from a cartoon,
I'd either name it 1-Rover-1 after the truly annoying dog from Battle of the Planets,
or Orbit, after the Bow Wow Ruff Ruff dog from Partridge Family in Outer Space,
or Dyno-Mutt, the Dog Wonder.

...the phrase 'pet robot' just hits me all wrong.I like my pets to be living, behaving things, even if I have to clean up messes, feed and tend constantly, or discourage undesirable behaviors. The complexities of the emotional relationship between pet and "owner" are probably best expressed by a poster I saw in veterinarian's waiting area: "Family members come in all species." Toy robots, yes; any self-respecting geek would concede those are very cool, but pets connotes something a little more biologically and emotionally based. I haven't known too many adults, even hard-core geeks, who've connected strongly with what are, frankly, nonliving playthings. (Apropos of nothing, we're the only species to have pets; remember Koko the ASL-signing gorilla who had a pet kitten he "named" All Ball?)

I don't know, if it's anything like the Sony store here, it'd be pretty impressive if they had the Aibo for Xmas. They had 1 here for 2 days for a demo, and they sent it on to other stores. They had 1 glasstron in stock once, but it sold right away so they decided not to bother with another one. So now, they have some TVs, about a dozen MD players, and a couple of cameras that take memory sticks. Stuff like Aibo and Glasstron would sell too well so they stay away from it. =P
For all of us who think that "Aibo" has too many vowels.
If you are modding me down because you disagree with me, use the "Flamebait" category, not the "Troll" one.
Of course the real challenge is to market the robot cat. Iaido might be the perfect name.
But as long as they are stuck on dogs, they should name the new dog "Faido".

My guess is that the next generation Aibos will be made of a transforming liquid metal and will hunt down and kill the current Aibo owners. The only AIBO owners that survive will be the ones who have reprogramed thier Aibos to protect them from the evil A2s. Hasn't that been done already?

I think it would be pretty awesome if they made a design that's a bit more suitable for a robot... like a face hugger from the Alien movies. With that many legs, they could probably pay less attention to balance, and make it so that it could walk fast enough to follow you around. Maybe give it the option to make screeching sounds instead of beeping.
It'd definately be an interesting conversation piece, and I'll bet something with 6 or 8 legs would be even better at robot soccer!

If my own 12 year-old daughter thinks it's stupid to pay $2500+ for a robotic dog (yes, she saw it and knows what it can do), then what the hell is wrong with all these adults buying these things? I see so many people on eBay trying to get rid of these things because they get bored with them after a short period of time -- why? Because if you've seen a video of one "running" around, it *looks* like a rudimentary robot. It'll run after a ball at the wrong angle and get stuck trying to back up from the shoes it ran into -- it can't TURN, for christ's sakes, it just turns a little at a time as it moves forward or backward like it's a remote control car!!!
I mean, this is a great technological feat, but call me back when it at least moves like a dog! Until then, I'll stick with my less-than-$700 pedigreed dogs, thank you very much!

I've always thought that 'fortran' would be a good name for a dog, perhaps it's even better for a robotic one, although I'd always picture myself screaming it down the street when the dog ran away, and I doubt that would ever happen with the brother/sister of aibo, which takes away all the fun.
Maybe i'd name it after the evil competitive robotic dog that George was going to replace Astro with on the Jetsons, but of course... that... would... be.... a.... copyright.... violation....

What was that dogs name again? Lectro?
In 1993, after a lengthy court trial, a Japanese judge declared the Sony patent invalid and named Bandai the inventor of the first digital pet. It should also be noted that it was the first digital pet to use dynamic RAM. Lots of good information on the Tamagotchi and many more links can be found here and also here.
If one closely examines this period of history, they find that it is a time that is just chock full with all kinds of convergences between mathematics, physical science, engineering and materials technologies that make the digital pet almost inevitable. After all, this is a device that had been conceived of, at least in part, as early as the Victorian age and the birth of the industrial revolution. Really, it was just a matter of time before somebody produced a working model, and as so often happens many people took different paths to the same end.
In all likelihood, it will probably be a Japanese word that means something, like Aibo was. But here's a question for you: Was Aibo sold in Japan as "Companion"? (not sure about translation)

I was in the Sony store in downtown SF a few weeks ago. I got to play with the carcass of an AIBO (aparently some swift employee that that the AIBO could jump 4 feet off the counter top and live).
Anyway, the point was that the sales lady said that the rumour was the Sony stores would have the AIBOs for sale by Xmas. Could she have meant the new AIBOs cousin???
So the rumour goes....
this one.
To be brutally honest, I honestly wouldn't doubt that... Probably comes with a water bottle inside it, so can have that "stepping in dog urine" feeling, just like the real thing!

They could call it CueCat!!! The new cube (old box) could be called a cue and it would go for it. I can see it now.
...but I imagine it would be a cat, as it is the next most popular pet, after dogs. I think these things are a bit silly anyway, but to each his own...
Shit adds up at the bottom...
i bet sony is going to impose on the computer super user crowd and try to make thier new pet a penguin.... try to capture all the attention of the linux users that want a pet in thier cubical by makeing it resemble TUX... albio the demon dog was cool because in a way he reminded me of the bsd devil but if its a penguin im selling all my stock in sony CAUSE TUX SUX!!!!
