Sony's ABIO barks its last
Sony this week sent AIBO, its robotic dog, off to the great kennel in the sky. The announcement was slipped in to the company’s financial presentation on its results for the three months to the end of December and came as a shock to some fans of the popular canine robots.
But AIBO was not the only product to get the short end of Sony's stick. The company canned its entire robotics division, also putting an end to the humanoid robot QRIO and its range of high-end Qualia devices as the company refocuses on core businesses like music, pictures and entertainment.
