Sony brings its AI-infused robotic dog Aibo back from the dead

Japanese firm looks to rekindle its innovative spirit with reboot of pioneering robot pet after nearly a decade on hold

Pets are great, but in our modern hectic lives it's increasingly difficult to give them the love and attention they deserve without paying someone else to do it. But what if you never needed to feed them, walk them or worry about them tearing up the house? Maybe that's why Sony is bringing its robotic dog Aibo back from the dead.

The Japanese electronics firm, once a pioneer in home robotics, announced that after more than a decade its robot canine pal will return to shelves with artificial intelligence-infused upgrades.
