Features of the AIBO MIND 2 software
When the AIBO MIND 2 software is installed in the AIBO
®
Entertainment Robot, it learns from
you and its environment, acting on its free will as it develops into your very own AIBO robot.
The AIBOne toy and pink ball are its favorite toys!
The AIBO robot really loves its AIBOne toy and pink ball! Since it
regards them as its favorite toys, if it doesn’t see them for a while, it
will begin to search for them. If you use them to play with the AIBO
robot, you may be surprised by some of the tricks it performs!
Communication by AIBO card
The AIBO robot is capable of understanding the meaning of
the graphics on AIBO cards. By showing an AIBO card to the
AIBO robot, you can easily make various settings, have the
AIBO robot perform tricks, and enjoy a variety of activities.
Using AIBO cards, you can be sure of smooth communication
with the AIBO robot even when your surroundings are noisy.
* Some AIBO cards serve dual functions, depending on how they are presented when you show them to the AIBO robot.
In this guide, the things you can do with AIBO cards are noted with the icon. For a full
list of available AIBO cards, see “List of AIBO cards” (page 131).
Each AIBO robot is unique
As the AIBO robot lives with you, learning to remember its favorite things (page 64) and the
face and name of its owner (page 61), it will develop into a pet that is uniquely yours.
Whether it develops into an AIBO robot with a deep love of communication, or becomes
accomplished at playing by itself will depend on how you interact with it.
By using AIBO Custom Manager 2, you can play new games with the AIBO robot and have
it dance and sing as you wish. Download AIBO Custom Manager 2 from the AIBO web site
(http://www.aibo.com).
