Sony is letting Aibo off the leash once again.
Sony’s cutesy toy robot dog first appeared in 1999 before being, ahem, “sent to a farm” in 2006. Now a new model will launch in 2018 that reacts to your voice commands and to being petted, as well as doing doggy tricks like barking, sitting, wagging its tail and playing with special toys. It’ll connect to an app and has OLED eyes in its new-look design.
The connected canine will only be available in Japan, and will cost around 198,000 Yen (around $1700, £1,300 or AU$2250).
