m.4/401
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENT ROBOT
General Feature
Made by: Sony (Japan)
Height: 27cm
Short Name: AIBO
SPECIFIC TECHNOLOGY
AIBO is the pet robot. It is
a dog. If you want to have
pet, but you have some
problems, this robot is a
good choice for you.
AIBO SENSES
• Touch - Feels human
contact through sensors on
head, back, chin & paws.
• Hearing - Detects sound through a pair of
stereo microphones, voice recognition.
AIBO SENSES
• Sight - Color camera, distance
sensors and facial recognition.
AIBO SENSES
• Balance - Keeps balance through acceleration sensors.
AIBO SENSES
SPECIAL SENSE
AIBO possesses 5 basic instincts
Love
Search
Movement
Recharge
Sleep
SPACIAL FEATURE
• Each AIBO begins life as a newborn puppy, over
time it will develop its own unique personality based
upon how it is raised.
• AIBO likes to dance & play with his toys - An AIBOne
and pink ball, he also likes to perform tricks with
them.
When AIBO is low on power he
will seek out his energy station
on his own.
SPACIAL FEATURE
AIBO can take photos on command
or whenever he chooses to, these
can be sent via email or stored on his
memory card.
AIBO can look after your
house when you are away,
he can detect movement
and sound, taking a picture
and notifying you via email.
SPACIAL FEATURE
As well as voice recognition,
you can also communicate to
AIBO using his graphics
cards, these are useful when
the surroundings are noisy.
HISTORY
AIBO is an iconic series of robotic pets designed
and manufactured by Sony.
Announced in mid-1998.
The first consumer model was introduced on
May 11, 1999.
AIBOs were marketed for domestic use as
"Entertainment Robots”
Research into robotics and human-robot
interaction.
WHAT APPLICATIONS (USES) ARE THERE NOW FOR YOUR SPECIFIC TECHNOLOGY?
AIBOs could learn whatever name you give your
AIBO, with built-in voice recognition.
AIBO could learn up to thousand words and talk
back to you in a special AIBO tonal language.
AIBO has a built in camera.
AIBO was a flagship for Sony technologies
with historical early use of: memory sticks, a
proprietary embedded operating system, and
advanced robotics technology.

NEWS
Robotic Dog Expresses Joy, Sorrow
“A dog-shaped robot that uses sensors and preprogrammed
software to mimic the gestures and habits of real dogs went on
sale on June 1. Named Aibo, the four-legged robot developed by
Sony Corp. has proven to be a big hit, selling out just 20 minutes
after the manufacturer began accepting orders over the Internet.”
“In Japan, 3,000 units were put on sale exclusively over
the Internet for 250,000 yen each, and another 2,000
were made available in the United States, where they
carried a 2,500-dollar price tag.”
“Best geek toy ever”
“The Sony Aibo was a remarkable piece of robotic
technology, especially considering it first appeared way back
in 1999. The robot dog was an example of robotics that was
released to regular consumers, at least those who could
afford one. An Aibo with supporting accessories could easily
top the $2,000 mark, and that was back when that kind of
money meant something.”

EXPLORING IMAGE PROCESSING CAPABILITIES OF AIBO

(Under the Direction of Walter D. Potter)
In the future
IN THE FUTURE
This research achieves the goal of performing the
task of recognizing different objects based on the
features possessed by the objects. The research
can be expanded to include noisy environments
that algorithms that adapt to the noise.
IN THE FUTURE
In gesture recognition we have worked with static
gestures and they can be expanded to include
dynamic gestures.
This was done with a view to minimize
computational pressure on AIBO.
IN THE FUTURE
The applications developed can be considered as providing a means of using AIBO as an educational tool exhibiting intelligent behavior to encourage learning among youngsters.
Watching AIBO solve mathematical expressions, or reading sentences and replying to them or reacting to gestures can be used to make learning fun for kids.
These behaviors can be extended to include learning the alphabet and reading sentences. AIBO can store a knowledge base of sentences and can answer questions posed to it.
Using these applications as a base, AIBO has the ability to learn and simulate intelligence in a variety of situations.
IN THE FUTURE
AIBO can be efficiently used to perform complex
tasks that can simulate or exhibit intelligence.
AIBO is also an ideal platform to showcase these
tasks because of its status as an entertainment dog.
