Unsatisfied with what your robot puppy can do currently? With the latest Aibo Update, you can already program the actions of your Sony robot puppy. One of the activities you can program your machine-run pet is you can potty-train him using the updated Aibo app. Simply use the mapping feature, instruct the robot to be quiet, and carry it in an upright position.
One more thing you can do with the Aibo app update is that you can also feed your robot by using the virtual coins to purchase "aibocrisps"—however, you might want to be cautious. As you earn the coins for free through My Aibo app registration, Sony offers coins for purchase, too, with real money. Indeed, the Sony robot puppy now features micro-transactions.
App Update
This Sony technology is still far from its trivial acquisition at $2,900. Nevertheless, the developer tools are making it easier to defend or validate if you're the interfering type of person. You can consider it more as a project than innovation with fixed features. The latest Sony Aibo update is the 2.50 version for the robot dog enabling, among others, a web-based interface designed for programming actions.
If you're new to robot puppy, you can use what PresFrom identifies as "Visual programming kit that uses blocks for the creation of actions" while experienced programmers can take part in a Developer program. With this latest Aibo update, you can modify your robot puppy's personality. Once you had the app updated, you can already access the new programmable resources and other whimsical capabilities like the capability of virtually feeding Aibo cookies, on top of the potty-training mentioned earlier.
Aibo Robot Puppy
CNET describes the Sony robot puppy as a real dog lookalike, "albeit a Robo-approximation." This innovation produces dog-like sounds, plays with toys, walks around, responds to orders, misbehaves at times, and uses the facial recognition technology and cameras to interact in various ways with every person it encounters. Taking the "robot" part from the equation, Aibo is more likely a real dog.
The software update for this robot dog is a Web-based application programming interface or also known as the API, providing the owners access to both the Aibo Visual Programmers for beginners and the Aibo Developer Program for the experienced developers. API is free, and it is the one letting an owner program the robot dog's action. The best thing about this Sony robot puppy is that it connects with people. And, if it moves, it makes humans want to believe it is definitely alive and will be more motivated to treat it as if it is really alive.
