During our time together at CES in Las Vegas last year, I was able to talk to many of the technology reporters who were ecstatic about the new version of aibo. It was by far the most advanced robot that Sony has ever created, combining LEDs with head tilting and locomotion.
Aibo's expressions are near-perfect, and his fluid motions make him a very entertaining companion. The fluidity of the pre-animated actions and the almost perfect expressions on Aibo's round, adorable eyes make him a fun companion.
Aibo is a safe and fun toy that's also human-friendly. It has 22 motorized joint, two cameras (one on the nose and another at the base of its articulated tail) and four microphones to allow it see, explore and react to its environment.
Aibo's AI is able to recognize up to 100 different faces and will remember them for a long time. The AI can also respond to voice instructions and perform tricks.
James Young is an associate professor of Computer Science at the University of Manitoba. He says that what's most exciting about aibo, is its ability to "emotionally bond" with you like a pet. This is because it mimics a true dog so well, says Young.
What is the emotional connection? It is hard to say if this is a sign of Sony trying to appeal a new generation of customers.
It's likely that you've seen aibo advertised on TV, in magazines, or heard about its many capabilities. It can detect objects, map its environment and develop an individual personality through your interactions. It can keep track of the adventures it has had in the cloud, and download tricks to enhance its performance.
Although these features seem pretty cool, it is worth asking: are they unique enough to make aibo stand out or simply an entertaining toy for kids? Aibo's personality is based on how you interact with it. It does not have any programming.
It's difficult to judge aibo's development because the robot isn't as available in the US as it is in Japan, and there are no big cafes or fan groups to give the robot a chance to interact with a lot of people. You can't tell how aibo will develop in just 14 days.
To see aibo live, you can visit the official company YouTube channel. It will be loaded with vloggers who have had aibo for a few months, and it will show how it evolves in the course of that time.
Aibo, however, is not just a cute little toy. It's also a connected, intelligent and smart companion that you can control with your smartphone using an app. It is able to learn new skills, detect when you are in the same room as it and respond to commands via voice (as soon as there's an internet connection).

What are the disadvantages and advantages of online shopping?
Online shopping is a great way to save money for both the consumer and the retailer. Online shopping has many advantages. It allows consumers to shop at their own pace. Also, there are fewer restrictions on what you buy because you don't have to go into stores to browse. There are some disadvantages. For example, online shoppers may not know exactly how much an item costs until they purchase it. This could lead to them spending too much. One disadvantage is that customers may feel more secure buying from big-box stores, as they are more used to seeing products in person. A customer who buys something online may decide to return it. Finally, online shopping may pressure brick-and-mortar stores because they might lose business to online competitors.
