Sony Upgrading Aibo With New Home Security Features, API Access

We love Aibo, because how could you not love Aibo? Not only is it a sophisticated robot that you can actually buy today, but it's super cute as well. To celebrate the one year anniversary of the new Aibo going on sale, Sony is announcing a special edition of the robot, an open API, and some new features that could make it a bit more useful. The most visible new announcement from Sony is a special 2019 limited edition Aibo, a "chocolate" color to commemorate Aibo's first birthday. This slightly beagle-y look comes with an even more limited edition black tail if you order one by February 14, but if you already have an "ivory white" Aibo, don't worry--all the hardware inside is the same, which makes the rest of Sony's announcements much more interesting.
