The robotic man's best friend is 180mm wide, 293mm tall, equipped with Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) in its eyes, and runs for about two hours after a full charge of three hours. It has two cameras that use facial recognition to identify its owner, and 22 actuator motors for movement. Owners can also sync "Aibo" with a smartphone application called "My Aibo", which allows them to play with the robot dog remotely. Preorders begin later today for 198,000 yen ($1,738) plus a basic monthly network plan. Shipments will start on January 11, 2018. Sony's announcement came a day after it forecast record earnings, leading to a nine-year high in its share price. _________________________________________________________________ Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alarabiya.english Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AlArabiya_Eng Follow us on Instagram: https://twitter.com/AlArabiya_Eng Like us on Google+: https://goo.gl/L5Nqcx Al Arabiya English website: https://english.alarabiya.net/ Subscribe to our Youtube channel: https://goo.gl/fQ0RkI __ The English site of the Arab world's leading news channel
