AIBO Via E-mail

Posted by Hemos on from the attack-aibo-attack dept.

digicosm2 writes "In honor of AIBO's fourth anniversary, Sony announced some new AIBO-related things today, including a new 'Cyber-Blue' color. But more interesting is the 'AIBO EYES' software, which allows you to control AIBO from anywhere in the world, via email. You can even receive snapshots of your home from him to your mobile phone! Might make a great (and unobtrusive) security camera or webcam..." I just want them to produce the Cerberus ? version.

    What's wrong with Lego Mindstorms (plus perhaps a miniITX to hook the Lego cam to)?

    Here's an impressive machine: Eric Sophie's Jamocklaquat

    And here is a fairly smart one: J.P. Brown's Rubik Cube Solver

    Too time consuming? You mean as compared to reading/posting about robotic toy robots on the internet? 8?)

    FYI, Sony and AIBOPet worked out a way for the AIBO community continue innovating without using the official SDK.
    Check out Legit-i-Mutt.
    Actually, I thinks Sony bent over backwards to sort it out with AIBOPet, so give Sony a break!

  3. Aibo AI Mind by Mentifex · · Score: 4, Informative

    The Aibo AI Mind is available to make your pet robot dog a more intelligent companion for you.

    The User Manual of the Aibo Kennel Club Robot Artificial Mind teaches you how to interact with the Aibo AI Mind.

    A more recently updated Mentifex AI version is freely available for tinkering and for installation in more humanoid robots than the Aibo.

    Technological Singularity is on its way -- thanks to the Sony Aibo robot dog!
