Sony Aibo Hacks Increase Functionality
Dinglenuts writes "Engadget posted a how-to article on increasing your Aibo's functionality using third party hacks. Given the increasing availability of networked home goods, I'm very interested to see what uses the Slashdot community can conceive for a household controlled through voice commands issued to a robot dog."

Better hack: remove the innards, place a live puppy inside.
Makes it far more realistic.

I just want a robot dog with frickin lasers strapped to his head.
AIBO! SICK 'EM!
Aibo needs a guard function for the neighborhood cats. Just bark and move a bit when there's any meowing around. If they pee on my door one more time, I'm gonna' set bear traps.
The bits on the bus go on and off... on and off... on and off...
a beo-woof woof woof of these...

Whatever it is, it's gonna involve goatse.cx
Lets make a mobile "keg-bot"
And make the tap a long tube sticking out, and you've got yourself a Dalek! Throw your computer in there and you'd win the local LAN party's case mod contest for sure!

I gotta get me one of them robots to vacuum the floor. They're not that expensive, but I'm cheap, and there's not enough marketting to remind me that I need one. Yesterday I had to carry two weeks worth of groceries from the car up to my unit. That's like 2 flights of stairs. It's not a hard job, but I'm lazy. Where's my grocery carrying robot? You could do it with a stair climbing trolly, but what do you do with that trolly when you're done with it? Who has space to store a trolly? Maybe them autoreconfigurable robots are the way to go. Ya know, the 4 million bricks that talk to each other and can form any shape.
How we know is more important than what we know.
"household controlled through voice commands issued to a robot dog" i'm much more amused by the concept of a household controlled *by* voice commands issued *from* a robot dog. "hey sparky! run next door and tell the Jones' house to turn down that godawful music...and turn off their hot water while you're at it...mwouhahaha"
I just want my Aibo to hobble over and push the reset button on my windows box so I can stay on the couch...

Do these Aibos lick peanut butter or do they prefer grease?
