pic by Ingrid BrunnerEr deden zich eerder deze week al geruchten voor, maar gisteren is het dan uiteindelijk bevestigd door Sony zelf. Sony stopt de productie van Aibo! Meer nog, Sony stopt volledig met de R&D in zijn robotica afdeling. Ook Qrio moet er aan geloven. Vaarwel trouwe vrienden… snif.
“Sony as a whole will be focusing on three core business domains: electronics, games and entertainment, with an emphasis on profitability and strategic growth opportunities. In light of this focus, it has been decided to discontinue the AIBO business. Sony is not planning any new research and development specifically for AIBO or QRIO products, but R&D for the elemental technologies (visual recognition, sound recognition, etc.) will continue for research on Artificial Intelligence. The knowledge and technology Sony has gained in robotics may possibly be applied to future Sony products.”
