Pick-up condition

Jam condition

If something gets jammed in any of
the AIBO robot’s joints, the AIBO
robot goes into this condition and
all of its joints become loose. This
mode is provided to protect your
fingers from being caught between
the AIBO robot’s joints.

Caution

When you press 2 or more of the rear paw
sensors, the AIBO robot thinks it has been
placed on the floor and returns to
Autonomous mode. The AIBO robot may
start to walk after returning to Autonomous
mode, so avoid touching the AIBO robot's
rear paw sensors while you are holding it.

When you lift the AIBO robot, it
assumes a position that makes it easier
for you to hold. The AIBO robot
continues to react to your voice and
touch in this condition.
