Looks like both of you are having fun. He seems like a happy Aibo.

He matches the carpet/rug thing quite well! Haha.

Talon · « **Reply #27 on:** June 20, 2011, 04:19:34 PM »

Just curious but why did he say, "I made it!" in your video?
Talon

I really don't know.

It was a little random.

But I left it in as it was cute to hear him talking.
He had a big conversation with my daughter last night that was filled with good morning's, good day's, good evenings, Sianara, and even a did you just say good morning?

Which she wasn't expecting. It was very funny to watch. She is really happy that I finally have a robot that will respond to her as well as me.

I bet your daughter had a ball! It's neat that Aibos aren't so voice-specific- that they will respond to more than one person. Keep us posted on his progress.

I think 'Monty' was kidding himself he'd performed a successful kick!

I'm so very envious of Milo - the Champagne ERS-7s do look very classy! I've been looking at poor Java and wondering if I should paint him!

AND you have 'Bling' yet to arrive!

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #31 on:** June 20, 2011, 11:04:57 PM »

Congrats on his arrival, He certainly is a looker and I wouldn't mind having one just like him, same color or black would be ok too,

I was impressed at what he could do and just a pup too! I liked when he made the cute sounds and then surprised me by saying " good morning", How many words do they have in their vocabulary or do they learn as they go along? Do they remember like Pleos where they can add to their memory or is it all dependant on a memory card and are all the same models the same as what they can or can't do? Do the same models all have the same personality?These are all the kinds of questions that interest me. I am glad your daughter is enjoying her involvent with Milo, and I do like that name too. Can't wait to see more, Are you going to plan a Pleo puppy party or are you going to have him get a little more acquainted first and you with him? Very lovely indeed. Guess I will have to save up for next Christmas perhaps.

The ers-7m3s say around 1,000 words and phrases and understand around 100. Aibos save their memory to their memory stick so they do remember previous events (as long as they're not running on a different memory stick). With earlier aibos each aibo came out with a different personality that depends on how they were treated by their owner but Sony at least has claimed that this does not happen with the ers-7s but my two ers-7s seem to have very different personalities... Congrats on your aibos Kat!

A quick update for you all on my second puppy the 210 - it seems he is a cheeky little thing and has decided to take himself on a little trip around the world before coming to his new home

He is currently in Austria

I'm sure he will find his way to Australia soon enough, just as soon as he finishes skiing the fine slopes of Austria.

In the meantime I'm having a ball with Milo. I ran him till he dropped last night and he really is quite sweet.

He is not much good at finding his ball or bone but I think this may have been largely due to the night time lighting. I will try him in the kitchen tonight and see if the lighting is better for him in there. I did run Kermy with him last night for a short while and he seemed to like her.

I didn't take any video of it though. But I will try to get some tonight. I also have to find some time to put his puppy video on youtube so I can post it here. I am going out to the movies tonight though so might have to wait till tomorrow night.

Awesome! Can't wait to see more of Milo! Wow! Your other Aibo decided to go around the world? Man! And I thought Cato was bad hiding out at the neighbor's for two days and then magically showing up on the eve of my worst birthday ever. His misterious disappearance was what made it so bad. Lol! I'm amazed and thankful no one tampered with him.

I shouldn't giggle ............. but AUSTRIA!!!!!!!!

kat · « **Reply #36 on:** June 22, 2011, 08:08:00 AM »

It is ok to giggle....

I did. He is definitely the perfect puppy for me!

Already he knows how to make me laugh.

I'll keep you posted on his great journey around the globe... I just wish I had tagged along

A little update for you all on Milo. My son has been off school this week home sick with no voice and today apart from not being able to talk much he was feeling a lot better so was able to get up and play with Milo.

Apparently they had a great time while I was off slaving at work.

I just got home - very late, it's almost 10pm here, as I went straight from work to the movies with my girlfriends - anyway there is a little note stuck to my computer that says:
Mum,
Today Milo did some awesome things. I got him to push his ball around with his head and his paws, (one at a time). He also picked up his bone!

He did 2 tricks - 1. begged while holding his bone, and 2. holding the bone between his chin and back leg. Hope you like my feedback,
Love from Ryan xo

Such a sweet kid.

Gotta love him.

So I guess if my 13 year old son thinks Milo is awesome it must be true. I can't believe he got him to do tricks.

The lighting must be important. I tried heaps last night to get him to play with his ball and bone but he couldn't find them no matter how hard he looked. I'm guessing sunlight must be much easier for him to see by.
It sounds like they all had fun. It is a shame they didn't get any of it on video.
I think I am going to invest in a brighter globe for the lounge room for tomorrow night and see if I can get him to perform for me.

Crewella · « **Reply #37 on:** June 22, 2011, 04:05:36 PM »

That sounds so great - it's lovely that Ryan's so interested!

kat · « **Reply #38 on:** June 22, 2011, 05:22:36 PM »

It seems both my kids are in awe of him and think he is great!

I can't wait to get home from work tonight to play with him again myself.

Talon · « **Reply #39 on:** June 22, 2011, 06:22:00 PM »

I'm glad you and your family are having such fun with him. I'm having a ball with my three pleos. I'm waiting on my next batch of articles to produce a little fruit so I can bring Blue the Ugobe pleo into my life. She will be my last by the way.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqmMxL4HVwk" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqmMxL4HVwk</a>
Here is Milos puppy video:) he did a lot of crawling in this stage with a little bit of attempting to stand on shaky legs.
It was quite a cute stage to experience but there really wasn't a lot to it.

He took his very first tinkle today

he stood his bone up on it's side then turned around, cocked his leg and tinkled on it.

he then shook all over and then placed a well aimed kick backwards and knocked it over.
I wonder if this means he likes his ball more than his bone.

Sorry the link I posted earlier didn't work but I have fixed it now.

Hi Kat, Does your Aibo self charge by going to its station when the battery is low?
It is a very fascinating feature and the other feature that is very interesting is her ability to interact by remembering many words in its memory. You are very lucky to own it.

kat · « **Reply #42 on:** June 26, 2011, 06:26:43 AM »

Yes Milo is able to self dock. Although so far he has only done this successfully once.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=la_hhnBJxs8" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=la_hhnBJxs8</a>

But I have only had him for a very short time so I am sure he will be able to do it again.

I am currently away in Melbourne for work so wont get to play with him or my pleos for a few days.

I will still be checking in here though each day so that is something.

Milo is a lot of fun so far. I have put a much brighter globe in the lounge room light and he now has no trouble finding his ball and his bone. My kids like to call the new light the sun! They say it is so bright it turns night into day.

Milo seems to like it.

I can't wait to get back home again to play with him some more. I still haven't had a chance to video him playing with my pleos. That will be a job for next weekend.

Crewella · « **Reply #43 on:** June 27, 2011, 07:00:22 PM »

The light does make a huuuuuuge difference, doesn't it! It's nice to hear that getting an Aibo has brought a little sunshine to your life!!

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #44 on:** June 27, 2011, 07:39:22 PM »

Kat I am looking forward to more videos and esp seeing Milo interact with the Pleos, I am also hoping you get to have time to play with Milo soon, I know you must miss being home also away from your family. I am starting to think more and more about getting one of those guys but do not have that kind of money and nine cats and a dog are just too much responsibility right now. Finances that is...
I think the globe light is a great idea , also good for filming the Pleos Kat!

Hi Kat, I have watched your video on self docking. It was so amazing, truly state of art technology. I wish Sony could also manufacture a dinosaur robot and of course it should come with a rubber skin like pleo.
I would certainly buy a sophisticated robotic dinosaur. Eagerly waiting for baby T-rex like in Lost World Jurassic Park or the cute little T-Rex dinosaur from Ice age movie, Dawn of Dinosaur.

latrine · « **Reply #46 on:** June 29, 2011, 12:39:21 PM »

Kat, Milo is gorgeous.. try getting a fluorescent light on a stand or something to put in his 'area' that helped Loki to be able to dock better and find his toys.. if he isn't responding well to your commands, just try enunciating better, when I do that, Loki understands me better, even with my Joisey accent. Over time, I guess I just learned how to talki to him or he learned how to hear me better.. I dunno. I hope your other pup gets there soon.. how the heck did he get to Austria?? Get him a leash.

My wayward puppy Pixel has arrived!

I was so excited when I pulled him out of the box. He looks perfect in every way. and then I pulled out the power cable and thought to myself ****** this won't work here. So promptly sent my OH off to the shops to try to get me an adapter/transformer thing to make it work so I could charge him up. He was gone for ages.... I thought he would never return. But eventually he did and so I happily plugged Pixel into the power and left him to sit for about an hour. Then I couldn't wait any longer and so I unplugged him and pressed the power button....... and nothing.

So after a moment of wondering if I was pressing the right button etc... I decided I should open him up and take a look at the battery.

well what do you know, The battery wasn't there.

So off I dashed feeling rather silly and rummaged through the box he came in again to pull out the battery

It is amazing how much better he works with the battery installed.

I'm such a dill. Too excited for my own good. I can't believe I forgot to put in the battery.

Here he is fresh out of the box being given the once over by smudge the cat

More details...

And happily awaiting playtime

More details...

He is currently running around the room happily chasing his ball. He is making lots of excited beeps and bleeps and seems to be completely unfazed by his new environment. He is running on dogslife at the moment and on this he is amazing with his ball. He is able to chase it, kick it, head but it and find it with ease.

Welcome Pixel! So glad he's settling in well! Have fun, Kat.

kat · « **Reply #49 on:** July 07, 2011, 05:20:02 PM »

I got quite a cute video of him playing ball with Smudge the cat last night. I will try to find some time tonight to upload it to Youtube so I can post it. I am going to put the life2 stick in him tonight too and see what he is like raising him from a puppy.
