AIBO is one of several types of robot dog designed and manufactured by Sony; there have been several different models since their introduction in 1999. Able to walk, "see" its environment via camera, and recognize spoken commands, they are considered to be autonomous robots, since they are able to learn and mature based on external stimuli from their owner or environment, or from other AIBOs. Aiboware (the name is a trademark of Sony corporation), is the title given to the software the AIBO runs on its pink memory stick. The ''Life'' Aiboware allows the robot to be raised from pup to fully grown adult while going through various stages of development as its owner interacts with it. The ''Explorer'' Aiboware allows the owner to interact with a fully mature robot able to understand (though not necessarily willing to obey) 100 voice commands. Without the Aiboware, the AIBO will run in what is called "clinic mode" and can only perform basic actions. Many AIBO owners enjoy teaching their pets new behaviors by reprogramming them (in Sony's special 'R-CODE' language). However, in October of 2001, Sony sent a cease-and-desist notice to the webmaster of [http://www.aibopet.com Aibopet.com/Aibohack.com], demanding that he stop distributing code that was retrieved by bypassing the copy prevention mechanisms of the robot. Eventually, in the face of many outraged AIBO owners, Sony released a programmer's kit for 'non-commercial' use. The kit has now been expanded into three distinct tools: R-CODE, AIBO Remote Framework, and the OPEN-R SDK. These three tools are combined under the name [http://www.sony.net/openr/ AIBO SDE] (Software Development Environment). All of these tools are free to download and can be used for commercial or non-commercial use (Except for the OPEN-R SDK, which is specifically for non-commercial use). The AIBO has seen use as an inexepensive platform for artificial intelligence research, because it integrates a computer, vision sytem, and articulators in a package vastly cheaper than conventional research robots. One common goal is to program a team of the robots to play soccer. RoboCup has a "Sony Four-Legged Robot League" in which several institutions worldwide participate. AIBO's vision system uses the Scale-invariant feature transform algorithm, to recognise its charging station. The newest versions are equiped with a Wi-Fi connection, allowing them to send the pictures they take via email. As a result, the Roblog originated. AIBO's sounds were programmed by Japanese DJ/avant-garde composer Nobukazu Takemura, considered by many to be highly skilled at fusing mechanic and organic concepts, and the bodies of the "3x" series (Latte and Macaron, the round-headed Aibos released in 2001) were designed by visual artist Katsura Moshino. Sony is developing Qrio, a humanoid robot, based on the same "OPEN-R" architecture as AIBO (but much more advanced). QRIO is Sony's corporate ambassador; there are no plans to sell this robot to the public.

The official name is apparently "AIBO", but common usage seems split between that and "Aibo", so it's not obvious which is right. Does anybody have insights on the distinction? User:Stan Shebs imho AIBO should be the right one as it's the usage seen on every SONY printed document. User:jimqode May I suggest a section in this article on the ethics/philosophy/sociology perspectives on this robot? I have never seen or interacted with one but from the description it seems almost as 'alive' as some pets. Any specific critiques of AIBO would be interesting. Alternatively, a link to a relevant article on this subject would be useful. A brief comparison (and link to) Tamagotchi or reference to 'cyber-pets' would also be good. --User:ChrisJMoor 02:26, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC) == Stereoscopy? == I removed the mention of stereoscopy - all the AIBOs I've had have only had one camera, thus precluding stereoscopic imaging. == Which AIBO? == I am working on a website that will explain the different models of AIBO to people.
