Japan's AIBO Is Dead; Koreans Unleash New Dogs

Sony's awesome AIBO robot dog was put to sleep last year, but Japan's exit from the robot pet market hasn't stopped Korea. A Korean company called Dasatech has UNLEASHED TWO PET ROBOT DOGS. Called "Genibo," the dogs understand about the same number of words as your real pet dog, including "come here," "sit," "wag your tail," and "do a headstand." Like AIBO, when you pet a Genibo, it gets all happy. It can also navigate around objects and can receive commands from a PC via Bluetooth.
