The coolest things about Engadget are their “How-to” tutorials (or so I believe, at least). Vince Veneziani published new one recently on “how to get the most out of your Sony Aibo“. He says:
What a lot of people don’t know, is how far you can push your Aibo to the limit. From their built in cameras to WiFi capabilities, the Aibo is the perfect tool for someone trying to get the most out of technology.
Well, it’s not really a “How-to” guide as such, but still, it is a fun read (if you have an Aibo, or if you plan to get one someday).
On a related news (and still from Engadget), the good people at Sony have developed new prototype Aibo to show “curiosity” and to teach themselves new functions that they have not already been programmed to do.

Researchers are calling the algorithm a sort of “metabrain” that gives the mechanical dogs a self-awareness of their own learning system, such that the robots would seek new and more challenging tasks after having mastered initial, smaller tasks.
Of course, it will take years before this feature gets into commercial models, but it’s one more step toward the science-fiction we’ve seen in movie. Soon, your flying car!
