Sony Bringing Back Aibo Team to Develop New Robot Dog

When the Sony Aibo was discontinued in 2006, it was arguably the most sophisticated consumer robot that you could get your hands on. Aibo was smart, cute, fun. Many people who owned Aibos loved their robots (perhaps a bit too much), and even more people wished they'd had one. We should note that this information comes from Nikkei Asian Review, not directly from Sony itself, and that the report doesn't directly cite any sources for this news. The article says that Sony is currently forming a new Aibo development team consisting of everyone who used to work on Aibo and is still at the company.
