In a rather strange move, French start-up Aldebaran, and their Nao humanoid robot, has been chosen as the replacement competitor for the discontinued Sony AIBO. The two-legged Nao will replace the four-legged AIBO in the Standard Platform League (formerly the Four-Legged League) of RoboCup, the popular robotic soccer competition. It seems something of a curious choice, given the fact that Aldebaran hasn’t even shipped a product yet.
