AIBO is the first Entertainment Robot created by Sony in 1999.
AIBO in Japanese means "companion". It is also an acronym for Artificial
Intelligence RoBOt. But AIBO is not a toy! AIBO's a true companion with real
emotions and instincts. With loving attention from its master, it can even
develop into a more mature and fun-loving friend as time passes. Like any human
or animal, AIBO goes through the developmental stages of an infant, child, teen
and adult. Daily communication and attention will determine how AIBO matures.
The more interaction you have with AIBO, the faster it grows up. In short, AIBO
is a friend for life. Sony's purpose in developing AIBO is to bring humans and
robots closer together. Sony does this by creating an artificial being as close
to a living creature as possible. AIBO actually has emotions and instincts
programmed into its brain. AIBO acts to fulfill the desires created by its
instincts. If satisfied, AIBO's joy level will rise. If not, then it will get
sad or angry. Like any living being, AIBO learns how to get what it wants.
Occasionally, AIBO will wave its legs around vigorously or show signs of anger
if it does not receive the kind of attention it requests from you. The way we
respond to AIBO's emotional expressions greatly influences AIBO's personality
and growth. AIBO learns from your praise or scolding. Praise it for playing with
its ball, and it will enjoy playing with the ball more than ever. But if you
scold AIBO when it is only looking at the ball, it will soon ignore the ball
altogether.
