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.
• Before you start playing with the AIBO robot, we suggest that you confirm the setting of its internal
clock (see page 85).
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, simply set the AIBO robot’s bedtime and walk-
up time to the same value.
• For data storage purposes, the AIBO robot automatically restarts once a day about 10 minutes before its
set wake-up time. If the AIBO robot is not on the Energy Station when it is time for restart, it simply
restarts the next time it is placed on the Energy Station.
Here we will explain how to set the wake-up time using 7:15 a.m. as an example. (Bedtime
can be set in the same manner. However, AIBO cards cannot be used for bedtime setting.)
Since time settings are made using AIBO cards, first prepare the cards ready for the time you
intend to set, including the AM and PM cards.
