AIBO is a robot. Why does it have to be
raised?
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 gives AIBO the capacity to 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 makes it possible for AIBO to adjust to you as it lives with
you and matures. We hope AIBO will become a good partner for you.
