my guess is that it uses an eeprom chip... fair easy to extract the adaptation data, but to interpret the data and emulate the original programming of the aibo

my guess is that it uses an eeprom chip... fair easy to extract the adaptation data, but to interpret the data and emulate the original programming of the aibo you would need to do a lot of reverse engineering... sony of course could open source aibo, and we could load it on an arduino and build better aibos...
