More uptodate information is at http://www.urbiforge.com/. From there you can find various tools for URBI, the software releases, videos, tutorials, etc for the AIBO at http://www.gostai.com/aibo.html
Pyro (Python for Robotics) is an implementation in Python of software to control various robots (including the AIBO.) A page that describes pyro for the AIBO is at http://pyrorobotics.org/?page=Using_20the_20Sony_20AIBO_20Robot
The Tekkotsu open source project at Carnegie Mellon University. This software is highly recommended if you are confortable with C++.

An introduction to Medit, a simple software package from Sony that allows to write motion commands for the AIBOs on a memory stick.
A short introduction on Using R-code and a short introduction to the various programming languages for the AIBO.
A basic overview of R-Code and Open-R at http://www.ouroboros.org/present.pdf
Ricardo A. Tellez, a PhD student at the Technical University of Catalonia (U.P.C.) in Spain has other nice resources, including AIBO Quickstart Manual and R-Code SDK Tutorial (v1.2). His website is http://www.ouroboros.org/aibo.html
A good tutorial on Open-R is at http://uei.ensta.fr/baillie/eng/openr_tutorial.html. This is from the group that has developed URBI.
At http://www.aibohack.com/ you can find material on the Aibo, including Yart/RCode Plus, an environment built on top of Rcode, that boosts the power of Rcode. The site has other random material on the Aibo.

A lot of material for the CMU course "CMRoboBits: creating an Intelligent AIBO" Fall 2006.
The course CMPUT412: Experimental Mobile Robotics at the University of Alberta has some material on line.
The course Robotics Seminar at SUNY Albany has also useful material.
