There's a new dog in town.

And it's a new Sony Aibo.This is a really updated version of the original Aibo we saw at CES 2009. Sony is definitely not marketing Aibo as a toy. To show what their thinking is, here's some info from their Aibo website: Aibo is a one-of-a-kind autonomous companion robot designed to bring fun and joy to your household. Owners can form a friendship as they raise aibo and watch as it develops its own unique personality through everyday interactions. Built with the latest Sony technology, aibo is brought to life with a wide range of sensors, cameras and actuators, while aibo’s adaptable behavior is made possible through deep learning Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology. Why did Sony decide to make a new generation of aibo? The first aibo launched in 1999. Since then, the technology for sensors and actuators has improved a lot, and the spread of broadband and wireless communications have created an environment where a companion robot can be perpetually connected to the Internet. In addition to robotics technology, AI technology has also evolved significantly. We believe this product represents a perfect opportunity to showcase what you can do when using the latest, most cutting-edge technology available. Sony aibo for the U.S. market includes the aibo companion robot and a three-year AI Cloud Plan. Sony also offers, separately, a fun assortment of aibo's toys available for individual purchase. Price: $2899.99.
