Sony Computer Science Laboratory in Paris, is a scientific lab specializing in surprising experiments in robotics.

One of them, the Playground Experiment uses AIBO to study how infants develop increasingly complex sensorimotor and communication skills. Sony robot dogs are programmed with software that simulates "curiosity" and are placed on a baby's activity mat where different objects can be bitten, bashed, or just visually detected.
