AIBO’s instincts

AIBO has five key instincts that provide motivation for its actions: love instinct, search instinct, movement instinct, recharge instinct, and sleep instinct.

Love instinct: AIBO is naturally inclined to interact with people who will give it care. If left alone for an extended period of time, AIBO will feel an urge to play.

Search instinct: AIBO is a fun-loving, curious robotic creature who enjoys discovering new things, satisfying its curiosity. If AIBO does not see its favorite color or if it does not sense any movement in its surroundings for a long period of time, it will become restless and will look for something new.

Movement instinct: AIBO enjoys moving around, playing and having new experiences. If idle for an extended period of time, AIBO will start to move around on its own.

Recharge instinct: For survival, AIBO is well aware that it must “eat.” Lithium ion batteries are on the bill of fare for AIBO and battery power is craved almost like clockwork throughout the day between activities. When AIBO is low on battery power, it will request to be charged and will change to the charging posture on its own.
