Computers and electronics manufacturing firm Sony Electronics launched Aibo Espresso Edition (ERS-1000B) in the United States on Thursday and is for sale in consumer market.
In late January 2023, the machine dog was initially launched in Japan. The Aibo Espresso edition marks the fourth colour variant of the renowned Aibo (ERS-1000) robotic puppy companion to be introduced in the United States, said the consumer electronics company.
The AI inbuilt pet features a black colour body with white accents available in four different eye colour including odd eyes option where the parent of Aibo can set two different shades of eye colour simultaneously, described Sony Electronics.
Aibo Espresso Edition comes with a three-year AI Cloud Plan, which can collect and access its daily life experiences, facilitating development of a distinct personality that matures and adapts over time.
Additionally, the robot pet possesses the ability to develop face recognition and familiarity with people over time.
The firm also said Aibo will be shaped by its daily interactions and parenting style of its owners, so the personality, behavior, and knowledge of every puppy will be different and unique.
The robotic canine can be connected by an application called ‘My Aibo’, which allows the owner to play, feed their Aibo virtual meals and treats, add new behaviour as well as tricks to its repertoire, and more.
