Its 2 feet tall. It runs linux.
What else should it be but a penguin? - framitz, on 10/12/2007, -11/+24The military version only understands one command:
SURRENDER - jimbren, on 10/12/2007, -12/+25But the company is French...

$make war - o0joshua0o, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12I want to write a program that will make it smoke cigarettes.
- arnaudh, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12Actually Korea, Japan and France have probably been the most innovative countries over the past decade and a half in terms of robotics, particularly collaborative robotics.

Origin from Old French corage, from Latin cor ‘heart.’ - Langford, on 10/12/2007, -5/+8I didn't want one, until I read your post. Now I want one. I can see it now, a little pet-dish shaped recharger with "Tux" written on the side.
- Pharaoh777, on 10/12/2007, -13/+15Don't worry, even if France decided to use this for war... it would only make war 4 hours per day. They to make it do more, and it'll just riot.
- bayonetblaha, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I'm not particularly fond of the French people, but I don't have a problem with them either. To the Americans and British with innocent but half-serious France-jokes, I ask:
How many wars have you fought? - Atomic1fire, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2révolution contre les humains
- bayonetblaha, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Runs on linux... I don't think we have to worry about that.
- OrangeTide, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Yea. the virus causes the robot to attack you when you speak English to it.

- lancefisher, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Just wait until someone writes a virus for those...
- MarkByers, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Virus? Nah... It would be more fun to install a rootkit and a remote control system, especialy if it has a webcam. :)
- jonlusk123, on 10/12/2007, -6/+6"Maisonnier believes the field of robotics to be "perfectly adapted" to the French culture, thanks to demands that include conceptual thinking, theoretical knowledge, practical capabilities, and resourcefulness. "France could do better than the Japanese or the Americans," Maisonnier said, as quoted by VieArtificielle.com"
Can't even make a robot without being snooty, jeez... - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Robo STD . . . romydia.
Symptoms: Low battery life, Red and itchy batteries - denisflorent, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Vachement sympa, cette petite bête. Dommage que le fabricant ait cru obligatoire de faire une version en anglais de son site web. Mais bon, sinon, trop bon produit ! :-) de la balle ! :-)
- redisdead, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0You should check out URBI at http://www.urbiforge.com/
It's a very powerful script language designed for real time behavior programming like robots or game AI.
I've tried once it's very simple but I've got just a robot simulation, no real aibo.
When these will be out, maybe I'll buy one, it'd be very cool to tweak it with urbi scripts - PaulRay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Les commentaires négatifs sont le défaut du constructeur pour qu'essayer favorise un produit français aux Américains !
pardonnez l'utilisation pauvre de la langue. J'ai besoin de la pratique. - velvetshark, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3Jonlusk123 wins the thread.
