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. According to a recent report, Sony is reassembling the Aibo development team with the goal of releasing a new version of the little robot dog. 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.
