It’s alive!

That’s the coolest robot video I’ve seen yet. It’s from a few years ago. I wonder where they’re at now.

I own one of the first AIBO robodogs. SONY built 10,000 for the second run, and got 130,000 orders - I didn’t think I’d win the 1:13 odds to get one.

It was...amusing. Not quite compelling. It was fascinated by Christmas tree lights. Self-charging (finding its way back to the charger when needed) was a vital feature it didn’t have; you don’t want to have to find & move it every few hours.

Upon getting married, I put it on the charger and left it (newlyweds having other things to do). Then we got a dog, a real one. The AIBO remained on the charger, unused. One day I turned it on to see how they would get along. Little Teddy absolutely FREAKED OUT - as in: you imagine how you’d react if your furniture just started wandering around for no apparent reason. Live pet won, AIBO is on a shelf.

No way in heck a robot doggie can be compared to a real live doggie. Can a robot doggie make me howl with laughter after I feed it peanut butter? Can a robot doggie snuggle? Can a robot doggie stare completely perplexed at his butt after he clears the room with a fart? Nope.. I’m sticking with my live canine buddies....

In Europe, pets were long associated with the aristocracy. So there is a lot of common man hatred of them. This amounts to sky high pet taxes, mandatory training, etc.

If I can buy a robo-pet that craps and pisses all over my house, barks at all hours so the neighbors call the cops on me, shreds my socks, shoes, and underwear, and spends hours a day shedding fluff on the couch or mooching crumbs in the kitchen, then I’d gladly replace the two worthless wastes of DNA my wife calls her “dogs.”
