Aibo Is A Robot. Why Does It Have To Be Educated - Sony AIBO Life 2 ERS-210 Handbuch

AIBO is a robot. Why does it have to be
educated?
The reason is that AIBO was born to live together with people. AIBO is capable of
autonomous action based on external information from its various sensors and from
internal motivations (i.e., its emotions and instincts). Nevertheless, AIBO will not
be too self-centered and will always entertain you.
AIBO Life 2 gives AIBO the capacity to learn and mature so that it can react to
your actions and its surroundings. For example, if you talk and play with AIBO a
lot, AIBO will grow to be sociable. If you prefer to simply watch AIBO, AIBO will
become independent and wander around as it waits for you to play with it.
In short, AIBO Life 2 makes it possible for AIBO to adjust to you as it lives with
you and matures.
We hope AIBO will become a good friend.
