Want a robot dog? Sony will sell Aibo starting in September | Apple

Have you ever wanted a dog, or rather, a robot dog? No? Just us? Either way, it’s now possible, thanks to Sony.

Sony has announced it’ll release its robot dog, called Aibo, in the US. You can buy it in September for $2,899, though it won’t ship until the holidays or later. It will come with three years of an AI Cloud service from Sony, as well as a bunch toys, like a pink ball, paw pads, and a charging station. As for AI Cloud, it enables Aibo to push the dog’s daily activity to Sony’s servers, helping improve the robot’s interactions.

Sony hasn’t said how many units it plans to make, but it is a limited-edition product. There’s also no word on UK pricing and availability.
