Stroke a sensor on its head, and AIBO wags its tail; throw a ball, and a digital camera in its snout will track it. A remote control turns it left or right. Available at www.world.sony.com/robot/for $2,500, AIBO costs more than most purebreds. But it doesn't shed, can't dig holes in the yard and needs no food or water. Best of all, you never have to clean up after...
