Over 100 dogs just shared a funeral in Japan. The nudist sex videoscatch? They were all robots.
A group of Sony's out-of-production, old-generation Aibo robot dogs were honoured with a traditional funeral service in Chiba Prefecture, reports The Japan Times.

The dogs are all different Aibo releases, including Sony's first generation dogs launched in May 1999, and described as "the first robot designed for home entertainment purposes ... equipped with adaptive learning and growth capabilities that allow each unit to develop a unique personality."
More than 150,000 dogs of different iterations were sold over the years, before Sony discontinued Aibo in 2006.

Sony even refers people to this company to get their older robodogs updated.
“We’d like to return the souls to the owners and make the robot a machine to utilize their parts,” Nobuyuki Norimatsu, head of A-Fun, told the Times. “We don’t take parts before we hold a funeral for them.”

Many held personal funerals in 2015.
Owners of older Sony Aibo robot dogs asked the tech giant in March 2018 to review their repair policy, which says that discontinued products won't be maintained seven years after they're canned.
Sony's Aibo robot dogs aren't completely dead. The company surprised everyone in 2017 when it announced the return of Aibo, unveiling an AI-fuelled demo in January 2018 — with a whopping $2,000 price tag.
