The Sony aibo - the world's first robotic dog
The AIBO [Artificial Intelligent Robot] was Sony’s attempt at recreating the experience you have when owning a biological dog. It would mimic the life of a puppy on initial purchase, and through interactions with its owners and surrounding would develop and shapes its own personality much like a real companion. The AIBO would in fact learn, and often people mention how bonds were created between them and their cybernetic best friend.
The AIBO would be able to ‘think’ by itself, show emotions through various triggers, and various memory cards could be installed to alter AIBO. Users could even hook themselves up to AIBO and programme their very own unique motions, making theirs completely personal.
