Does anybody have any libraries and/or manuals for programming the AIBO robot in Scheme (preferably PLT-Scheme?  Sony's OPENR-SDK is C++-based, but I would rather use Scheme than C++.

A Google search came up with the following semi-relevant pages, none of which seem helpful enough to start programming the AIBO in Scheme:
