AIBO pointers
An AIBO is an Artificial Intelligence RoBot by Sony.
Our AIBO (ERS-7 M3W) is called "Fatec" (pronounced Fuhtech). Just got it while it was still possible (production of AIBO stops in March 2006)

the Official AIBO SDE
AIBO SDE contains three SDKs(Software Development Kits) and one motion editor(AIBO Motion Editor).
- AIBO SDE (this is sony's NEW site where you can download software, no need to register anymore ....). Old was http://openr.aibo.com/openr/eng/regi/rule.php4
- R-CODE SDK is used with an easy-to-understand scripting language. You can use sensor data, variables, R-CODE's built-in commands, and more to program AIBO(ERS-7). Works over wireless LAN and read/write to AIBO PMS (Programmable Memory Stick) (16MB ERA-MS016).
- AIBO Remote Framework is used to create rich PC programs that interact with AIBO. For example, streaming camera data and microphone audio can be sent to a nearby PC, and you can send streaming audio data back to AIBO as well.
- The OPEN-R SDK is a cross-development environment based on gcc (C++) with which you can make software that works on AIBO
Other
- ABrowser7 from aibohack.com. Allows personality tweaking
- YART from aibohack.com. simple drag-and-drop tool for customizing the behavior of existing YART-enabled personalities.
- UrbiForge , URBI is a Universal Real-time Behavior Interface and gives you a simple but powerful way to control any robot or complex system. Works with AIBO. Seems to be an interesting alternative to R-CODE.
Software is an URBI Server (on the DOG), a URBI Lab to run scrips (telnet frontend).
- WebDiary. An alternative to Mind3 / blogging by John Studebaker.
