A psychological peek into your robot
AIBO can also show its will to us by using different combinations of body language.
Example: When it wishes to play with a ball, AIBO tells us so by doing as below.
“Ball”“Please!”
AIBO uses its paws to make the shape of a ball, and shakes both hands up and down, inviting someone to play.
When it gestures to its head or to you with its paw, then shakes both paws up and down, asking for attention, it wishes to be rubbed on the head or wants to play with you.
“Head”“You”
AIBO will try to convey many more messages by gesturing. Enjoy living with AIBO to understand more of what they mean, eventually creating a great team.
