The official name is apparently "AIBO", but common usage seems split between that and "Aibo", so it's not obvious which is right. Does anybody have insights on the distinction? Stan

imho AIBO should be the right one as it's the usage seen on every SONY printed document. User:jimqode

I've been bold and moved it to AIBO. Sony calls it that way. Mushroom 14:11, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Good ... AIBO is a sort of acronym for Artificial Intelligence roBOt, and as all acronyms should be spelled all U/C. SONY provided this explanation in every user guide and in many marketing materials, and the only way SONY printed the word AIBO was AIBO.

[edit] Ethics

May I suggest a section in this article on the ethics/philosophy/sociology perspectives on this robot? I have never seen or interacted with one but from the description it seems almost as 'alive' as some pets. Any specific critiques of AIBO would be interesting. Alternatively, a link to a relevant article on this subject would be useful. A brief comparison (and link to) Tamagotchi or reference to 'cyber-pets' would also be good. --ChrisJMoor 02:26, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Stereoscopy?

I removed the mention of stereoscopy - all the AIBOs I've had have only had one camera, thus precluding stereoscopic imaging.

[edit] Which AIBO?

I am working on a website that will explain the different models of AIBO to people. I am constantly being asked which is the best to get?

I agree with ChrisJMoore that it is difficult ot get a perspective on which is the best unless you have specifically interacted with one and know what they are capable of. I will post a link to the specific page when it is complete.

[edit] AIBO Scraped

Something should be mentioned with regards to Aibo being scrapped by Sony.
