Short Take: Sharper Image to peddle pooch Aibo
Sharper Image announced Wednesday that it will offer Sony's latest robot dog, Aibo ERS-210. "We selected Sharper Image from among all other U.S. specialty retailers to introduce the next-generation Aibo because of their highly recognized brand and nationwide stature as a premier provider of innovative new products," said Stuart Wallock, director of marketing and business planning for Sony Entertainment Robot America, a division of Sony. The newest Aibo will be packaged with software that allows the four-legged robot to learn from its environment and from human interaction.
