Going out for a walk with AIBO
AIBO’s personality develops by interactingwith people and each AIBO grows in a different way, based on its individualexperiences. AIBO becomes customizedbased on feedback and the software being used.With supplied AIBO MIND autonomous software, you can immediately interact with a mature ERS-7 or you can also reset it to its puppy stage.
AIBO’s mood changes with its environment, and its mood affects its behavior. AIBO also has instincts to move around, to look for its toys, to satisfy its curiosity, to play and communicate with its owner, to recharge when its battery is low, and to wake up when its done sleeping.
AIBO is capable of six feelings - happiness, sadness, fear, dislike, surprise, and anger. Its unique personality is developed with a combination of theseunique instincts and feelings.
The more you interact with ERS-7, the more it learns.
AIBO’s skill level can improve through encouragement from its owner. By praising AIBO for kicking the ball well, it will continue to play with the ball. Repeated practice with the ball will improve its skill level and it will learn new tricks. If you scold AIBO for playing with its ball, it will stop showing as much interest in it. With AIBO's back sensors, it is possible to adjust AIBO's schedule to coincide with your daily routine. You can schedule your usual bed time and AIBO will go to sleep on its charging station until it's time to get up. AIBO can also use its alarm to wake you up in the morning.
The more you interact with ERS-7, the more it learns. AIBO uses "short and long range distance sensor" in its nose and chest to detect the edges and the wall.
