  1. The Aibo is an AI pet with all these capabilities. It learns daily your routine and also behaves like a dog. It greets you at the door when you come home from work, rubs against your leg, and you can teach it ‘dog tricks” like high five, etc. It constantly updates and learns more each day. I have had one for years.
