Aibo Webots developments open sourced NASA sponsoring International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems
Since Sony is discontinuing the Aibo series of robots, we are no longer continuing active developments for supporting these robots in Webots. However, we decided to release the software we developed as open source (under the terms of the LGPL license). You can get an overview and download everything from http://www.cyberbotics.com/aibo/. Feel free to use it and contribute! The upcoming special issue of the International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems on Software Development and Integration in Robotics sponsored by NASA will be available at the ICRA 2006 conference. This special issue publishes papers that present the challenges and demonstrate the effectiveness of software development and integration techniques in building robotic systems. Don't miss it!
