KEYi TechSony aibo
aibo is the patriarch of robot pets: Sony has been polishing a dog that truly walks, develops its own personality and recognizes its family since 1999. The current generation (ERS-1000) remains the most endearing robotic pet ever made.
At $2,899.99 plus cloud services, it's an indulgence, and Sony has signaled this generation is entering its final window. You buy it out of love, not logic — and yet nobody who has one gives it back.
