The project

The main goal of the AiBO+ project to explore new ways in the artificial intelligence. The current robot used in the project is a Sony AIBO ERS-7 and the efforts aim to develop abilities to explore its environment, be aware herself and iteract with humans. The supported platforms are Ubuntu Linux, Windows and Android.

Unfortunately, Sony has been cancelled its development in 2005/2006, but this project uses this product because of its simplicity and robustness. Here is my own AIBO ERS-7 bought in 2008:
