AIBO’s autonomous activities

When AIBO cannot get up from a fall

AIBO tries to get up by itself when it falls. When it is not able to stand up, it will ask you for help with the robot language. Give it your hand (Fig. 1) and straighten it up (Fig. 2). AIBO will get up and start to move. If it does not move, wake it up by pressing the touch sensor for more than five seconds.

To pause AIBO immediately

Press the pause button on the chest. To reactivate AIBO, place it on the floor properly (see step 5 on page 29) and press the pause button once more.

If AIBO shows the “charging posture” on its own

AIBO is low on batteries. Place it on the station, or press the pause button and replace the battery pack (see page 76).

If AIBO stops moving

When AIBO is picked up from the floor or if your fingers get caught between its joints, AIBO will automatically stop all its motors. To revive AIBO from this state, place it on the floor (see step 5 on page 29) and press the touch sensor for more than 5 seconds. AIBO will resume the performance mode and start moving.

To place the sleeping AIBO on the station

Gently shake it awake. Then press “0“t“3”t“SEND” to set it to the “charging posture” and place it on the station (see page 37).

If the chest and eye lamps flash rapidly or if AIBO sounds for help

AIBO may be experiencing an internal trouble. See page 86.
