We have always been fans of Sony and their various robot dogs. This week we thought it would be fun and interesting to talk about the new Sony AIBO's. Sony has recently released two new robot dogs, the ERS-311 "LATTE" and the ERS-312 "MACARON". Each of these robots has unique features such as emotions, voice recognition, voice mimic, taking photos and various other features. If you have or haven't read about any of the AIBO series or have seen or heard about previous models we highly recommend reading this page as it is very interesting how far technology has gone and where it could be going.
The above items as well as other new and innovative services and technologies can be found on our What's Hip section on our News page at:
