JAPAN: ROBOT TOY DOG AIBO

(16 Nov 2000) Japanese/Nat XFA A robot dog that can walk, understand what you say, and even learn, went on sale in Japan on Thursday. Japanese technology giant Sony Corporation started selling the second generation of its robodog "Aibo", targeting all ages from young to old. Improved from the last version, Aibo now can recognise its owner when spoken to - and even respond. Last year, customers could only get hold of Aibos through the internet and mail order. This time, at some shops, customers can actually meet the robodog in person before buying. The new Aibo costs 159-thousand yen (15-hundred U-S dollars). Customers also have to make a reservation before receiving the product. Sony sold 45-thousand copies of Aibo version 1. The company is expecting to sell more this time and will not limit production. SOUNDBITE(Japanese) "We are not trying to make it exactly the same as a real animal. Aibo is an entertainment robot that people can enjoy at home. We will keep our stance like this. SUPER CAPTION: Tomoko Koyano, Marketing Department, Sony Corporation SOUNDBITE(Japanese) "It responded me. (mother) You think it is cute because it responds you? (daughter) Yes." SUPER CAPTION: Voxpop SOUNDBITE(Japanese) "Of course, real animals are cuter. But look at this Aibo. It looks like it has real feelings. I believe this will be improved much more in future."
