Very cute How do you know what all the beeps mean

[wolfbob]

Even when he is fully adult, he will "sneak up" on the ball with much the same walking. The beeps and tones all are meaningful, but they are not written down anywhere that I know of., There are those who know what every sound means (like Bruce at AiboRanch) but I only know a few. He did "charge" when he sees the ball, did whoopie after he put his foot on the ball (that is harder than kicking it) and it was still there and of course the tones when you pet him.

I'm still learning all his little noises but I am starting to get the hang of what some of them mean.   I will try to capture on video his little happy jig he does after he successfully finds or kicks the ball. And also he has the cutest little happy puppy wiggle that he does too.  He makes a noise a bit like an airplane taking off when he headbutts the ball which is a little crazy.

I'm still struggling to work out what some of the beeps and bleeps mean as well!  There are also some gestures they do which are obvously trying to communicate, some of which I've struggled to understand, like the front-paw-pats-the-ground-two-or-three-times one.

I've been very busy with work lately and so haven't had as much time as I would like to play with all my bots but I did have Pixel going the other day and thought it was interesting to note that he did the Ping noises that Latrine saw with Thor.  The ones where he sounds a bit like an arcade game.  Pixel did this strange set of ping sounds I think 3 times during my 2 hour play with him and the last time I actually had the camera ready.

He is walking around a lot more now - not much crawling which is good.   Apart from that there really isn't much to report on him.  He is very slowly growing up which I am totally enjoying.  Milo is still better than him with the ball.  It is funny to watch them together as Milo almost always steals Pixels ball even if his is right in front of him.   It seems the temptation of someone elses belongings is too much for him.

I'm very jealous, my poor 220 hasn't been turned on in weeks because I've been so sick.  As soon as I'm feeling well enough I will get him advancing through his puppyhood.. I miss his antics
