Sony will release an updated version of the legendary robot Aibo
Source:
The Japanese Sony Corporation released the first version of the robot in 1999. This artificial dog was able to walk to see things around, to recognize voice commands, and even those of their masters. While Aibo was its own mood, emotions, instincts, curiosity, and the ability to recharge from the network. For its time it was an incredibly advanced toy. After years of leadership Sony has decided to bring back the legendary robot to life.
Aibo is translated from Japanese as "love" or "affection", the word is also an acronym for the phrase "Artifical Intelligence roBOt". The design of the robot-dog developed the famous Illustrator Hajime Sorayama. In addition to microphones, cameras and infrared sensors, the Aibo was equipped with a bunch of various sensors that measure temperature, acceleration, force the surrounding vibrations. In the heart of the robot was lying a 64-bit RISC processor running an operating system OCPB.
From 1999 to 2003, went on sale five different Aibo models, characterized by various innovations. For example, over time the basic models have added touch sensors, made her appearance more friendly, significantly improved sensors, and even provided the robot with possibility of wireless access to the Internet. To create a new model of the Aibo manual Sony failed again to piece together the original team of developers who have worked shoulder to shoulder in 1999.
Until a new model of robot is not known virtually nothing, but Sony promises to share with the press details in the near future. It is already known that the software of the new model Aibo will be for everyone, so third party companies can release updates that improve the functionality of the robot.
