This chapter explains how AIBO Dancer works and how to use the software.

Detecting a beat

How does AIBO detect a beat? Remember, AIBO is not only your friendly pet-like companion, but
also has the processing power of a computer. When your AIBO is turned on with AIBO Dancer, it
listens for the beat of the song. Once it has found a beat, it will select a dance move in accordance
to the beat it has found. AIBO will continue to listen for the beat of the song, so if the beat of
the song changes, AIBO's moves will change too.

Dancing with AIBO

Boot up AIBO with the AIBO Dancer AIBO-ware, and let it listen to the music that you are listening
to. Once AIBO detects the beat of the music being played, it will begin to flash its lights to the
beat. AIBO's dance moves will be synchronised to the flashing that you see. Listen carefully,
because as AIBO gets into the music, it will begin to make funny comments about how much fun
it is having.
★
If AIBO does not seem to be getting into the groove, clap along to the beat and get the party
started!
✍
Do not place AIBO in a location where it might fall or be subjected to vibration, or on an
unstable surface.
Do not place anything near AIBO that may hinder its movement.
