Sleep instinct: AIBO has a natural rhythm that alternates between sleep and activity, and so it has an instinct that makes it desire sleep. This rhythm changes according to AIBO’s stage of maturation and the life pattern that is established between you and AIBO.
In response to its instincts, AIBO behaves in a manner that will satisfy its particular desires. If a desire is fulfilled, it will be pleased. If a desire is left unsatisfied, emotions such as fear or anger will grow within it.
