An Autistic Robotic Dog designed, Manufactured and Sold by Sony Corp from 1999 to 2006. The new model released in 2018 and is still be sold till this very day. They are crazy little buggers that OCD over the color Pink, eventually breaking their own necks because they constantly walk into the pink couch you have in your delusional little living room because you are a grown ass man obsessed with Barbie.
While the new model is a yapping little shit designed to act and behave like a dog, it is still hella cute, and bascially beats every other consumer AI robot on the market because of their friendly and non "soulless" behaviour.
Oh, and did I mention, aibo is not a toy? Yeah, they are more than $1,000, and do have true and unique AI learning capabilities, and they are NOT marketed towards children. So, they beat Furby, that pathetic object that doesn't actually learn anything, other than just spit out random phrases because of it's shitty pre-pregrammed, low quality, toy behaviour, into ashes. So yeah, BUY THY AIBO!!!!!
