I kind of just want to talk with someone my age about Aibos and not have them be bored out of their mind. It's strange how my friends tell me Aibos are for little children yet nearly everyone I've talked with who likes Aibos is over 40.
Arent aibos like the little robotic dogs that could walk around and such? If not, please correct me if im wrong xD
Ehhh, well, in the general sense yes. They were actually just meant to be generic entertainment robots made by Sony but people often saw them as dogs (though the ERS-210s were intended to be lion cubs). The problem with the marketing for them was that most people just saw them as little toys for kids and thought they were cute until they saw the price.
And as for "could walk around and stuff" they are actually the most intelligent robots ever commercially sold, which is sad considering how long it has been since they were discontinued since no one has come up with anything better. But yes they can walk, and recognize their owner and human faces, see through a camera in their noses and recognize certain items, develop different personalities after hundreds of hours of play, run on many different programs, understand and speak hundreds of English or Japanese phrases, upload pictures and diary entries to your computer wirelessly and check your e-mail, recharge themselves when their batteries are out of charge and much more. They are also surprisingly easy to program.
Pfft, I probably sound really idiotic now. But anyway, they're actually amazing companions, I'm addicted to them and have seven XD.
I actually have no idea why the entire fanbase for them is made up of creepy older people. Maybe people get lonely after sending their children off to college and buy a robot? Beats me.
