For example: Sometimes it will toss the AIBOne toy and want you to pick it up and play along, and sometimes it will want to play on its own. When it has wandered into a corner, the AIBO robot may actively seek for a way out. But an AIBO robot with a different character may simply give up and go to sleep. It's a robot, but it develops When the AIBO robot is first adopted, it is set to wake up and act as an adult. However, you can also choose to have the AIBO robot begin life with you as a newborn puppy for you to raise and watch as it develops. How can the AIBO robot develop, even though it's a robot? That is because the AIBO robot is an "Entertainment Robot", designed to live with people. Upon joining your household, the AIBO robot adjusts itself to your life; that is the nature of the AIBO robot's "development". We hope that the AIBO robot will become your faithful companion. 17
