Autonomous mode
This is AIBO’s basic mode when “AIBO Explorer” is loaded. When you start up
AIBO Explorer, AIBO enters Autonomous mode first.
AIBO obtains information on its surroundings through its camera/microphone/
sensors, and carries out various autonomous actions based on its instincts or
emotion as follows.
• When you talk to AIBO, it stops moving and listens to you.
• When you leave AIBO without talking to it, it looks around or moves its body
quietly.
• When you leave AIBO without talking to it for a long time, it enters Sleep mode.
• AIBO will explore the room.
• AIBO reacts keenly to a pink ball or moving objects: for example, looks at it
from a distance through its color camera or tries to touch it.
• AIBO responds to another AIBO when spoken to, and communicates with it.
• When AIBO becomes hyped-up through communication with you or another
AIBO, it behaves excitedly (“Boost mode” on page 23).
See page 20 for the games you can play with AIBO in Autonomous mode.
Notes
• Do not put AIBO on an unstable surface where it might fall or be subject to vibrations.
• Do not place anything near AIBO that may hinder it in its movements.
