For humans and robot, it's puppy love


AIBO the dog is not a bundle of fur but instead a lapdog-shaped collection of plastic parts, motors, gears and computer chips.

And it's true. AIBO won't die, although the robot does need to recharge its batteries from time to time. AIBO doesn't need dog food or treats. It won't wake you up at 3 a.m., begging for a quick walk around the block. It won't pee on the carpet or chase the cat.
