Robot’s lifestyle rhythm
The AIBO robot matches itself to your lifestyle.
Its pattern of living will develop to match your lifestyle.
z Hints
• When the AIBO robot first wakes up, it has a preset activity period extending from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.
• The AIBO robot conforms to this activity pattern only when it is sitting on the Energy Station.
• When set to Remote Control mode or House Sitting mode, the AIBO robot will not go to sleep, even if it
is time to go to bed.
• Before you start playing with the AIBO robot, we suggest that you confirm the setting of its internal
clock (see page 117).
Determining the AIBO robot’s period of activity
You can set the time that the AIBO robot wakes up and goes to bed.
The AIBO robot wakes up and goes to bed on the Energy Station. When it is time for the
AIBO robot to go to bed, be sure to place it on the Energy Station. If you forget to place the
AIBO robot on the Energy Station, it will stay awake beyond its bedtime, but will go to sleep
as soon as you place it on the Energy Station.
You can only set the AIBO robot’s activity period while the AIBO robot is in Autonomous
mode.
z Hints
• If you want the AIBO robot to be active 24 hours a day, set the wake-up time and bedtime to the same
value. For data storage purposes, the AIBO robot still automatically restarts once a day just before its set
wake-up time.
• The AIBO robot’s wake-up time is set according to its bedtime setting. Changes made to the AIBO
robot’s activity period settings while the AIBO robot is asleep on the Energy Station will not take effect
the next time it wakes up.
Here we will explain how to set the wake-up time, using 7:15 a.m. as an example.
The bedtime can be set in the same manner.
AIBO cards are used to set the time, so prepare the cards for the time that you want to set, as
well as the AM and PM cards, before performing the steps on the following page.
