Aibo Turns Evil Sony Changes Its Mind | |
Aibo Turns Evil
I'm pretty annoyed with this story actually. Basically, sony has decided to release an Software Development Kit (SDK) for its Aibo dog. This has happened barely months after forcing the shut down of an underground open-source hack of the software that could achieve similar (if not better) behaviours. Sony wins out in the end, as it gets to control the distribution of software modifications, and has the bonus of getting good PR for going opening up the source to its robot. That is quite cheecky in my mind... New Scientist - Sony Lets Aibo Learn New Tricks

Opening the Research
A few more articles on the topic, which are a bit more promising than my initial impressions: It seems the platform is C++, which is more promising than a hacked C approach you expect from japanese developers. |
