Here are the tools that will be used for the interactive game
Dogslife
Dogslife is a behavior set for the Aibo. We plan on using many of these short skits as "tricks" for the Aibo to perform. Further information and files for dogslife may be found here.
Remote control of the Aibo
The ability to send remote instructions to the aibo is a vaital part of this project. By using Telnet to connect to the Aibo, you may send commands and trigger behaviors stored on the memory stick. The back end of your final program will use sockets to do send messages, in the mean time we have made use of the following in addition to Telnet.
-Aibenet telnet console
Aibnet special telnet console for use with the aibo.
-Aiboremote
Aiboremote makes use of a GUI to make behaviors and aibo controls more quickly accessible.
-Tekkotsu
Tekkotsu requires a special stick images to be loaded onto the memory stick. This program affords excellent control over many of the Aibo's functions.
