Sony Aibo Review: How Much Is That Robot In The Window?
Ғылым және технология
In July of 1999, Sony gave tech lovers the perfect pet to kick off life in the new millennium: the first robot dog for the home. “AIBO” stood for Artificial Intelligence roBOt, but when pronounced in Japanese the word also means “buddy, pal or accomplice.” And even though it cost $2100 and was only sold on the internet - again, back in 1999 - Sony sold 5000 Aibos in its first week.
Flash forward exactly 20 years … and the newest Aibo, model ERS-1000, just clomped his way into my home. He’s sophisticated, smart, and so lifelike he’ll wag his way right into your heart - which is exactly why those who buy him should be careful. After all, the last time we talked about social robots, I told you that you shouldn’t buy them. See if Aibo is any different - in the Sony Aibo Review from MrMobile!

7:21 "It will just stop learning, and at some point, don't we all?" Damn this threw me into a quarter life crisis in seconds...
You have a strong heart to keep putting yourself through these robot induced pains

It is Sony, and we all know how they did with PS Vita, how they broke hearts of developers (me included) with theyr support negligence and slow death of the platform. So, I will not trust Sony with theyr dedication.
sounded scary when you said his previous owner never cleared him and now it feelslike that would be horrible to do he had a name and a personality and the most common thing would be to just erase him
6:59 That real dog goes like "What the heck is this thing hooman?"
1:08 I thought Michael said "he already HAD SEX" and I was very concerned for a moment there

Well, Aibo is like a passion project for Sony. I'm sure they aren't profitable for Sony, but you can see the love they put into this.
I love Michael's voice and style of reviews. It's just so satisfying!
Aww, haha, the real dogs are so curious, like "wtf is this??" Lmao
"Jibo's Last Dance" remains as one of the best youtube videos I've ever seen... Mr. Mobile, you should submit it to some film festivals as a short movie, btw
I own 3 AIBOs (312B, 311, 7M2) and I love them dearly. They work fine, but my 7's foot shattered. I just got her, but she is about 14. They're really great robots, and they really connect with you. I don't run them all the time (esp. unsupervised) but they're very endearing. The AIBO-LIFE website is still frequented and there still is a large community. I have had the same 7 repaired when I got her, as she couldn't produce sound and her leg was coming off. Also yes, I do have real pets!
"At some point don't we all?" that was right in the feels Michael.. Right in it.
It's has some advantage... namely He is not going to poop Don't eat food Don't dirty home with His Fur🙂

Excellent review Michael. You're a brave man letting another robot into your home. I'm still sad about my Vector as well as my friend who worked and Anki.
It needs the servers running to learn, so I guess you can't teach an old Aibo new tricks.

Damn finally a new pet to empty my pockets just because Michael told me so
I remember watching a documental about the 3rd party repair services for discontinued aibos, truly heartbreaking watching an elder man crying for his pet robot because his local repair tech ran out of spares

that's thus why we all need reparability we love things that are essentially one part with us it can be our car, phone, even the music player of mine still running it best for to listening to it... same thing for these aibo

Hi. I think this is one of your best edits so far. Greetings from Norway
No more dying social robots, I can't take it :(
Man those bose 700, cant wait for the review! Also loved the review for the aibo
Always, always a awsome review! As usually!

Was gonna say that this is like "Ghost In The Shell SAC"'s Tachicoma, but then again we also have Tachicoma robot pets out there as well.
In Sonys cloud? Can we make the data go to our own private server?
I want one so much! No need to feel so guilty for leaving her alone in the apartment when I go off to work. She won't feel actual pain, and I can back her up. Transcendence for dogs lol
Love the way you narrate!😎

Hope to see the Xperia one .. lots of reviews out there but the most talented reviewer haven't gave us one yet 🥺
A boi as good, if not better, than the quality of your videos! Mind blown.
That Jibo video really hit me in the feels. With that said.. I still want an Aibo. I need money 😩
This reminds me of that tom and jerry episode where tom got replaced by a robot cat haha
at 3:45 the fear 😂😂 so cute

Look up NeCoRo! It’s an older bot but is a fluffy robocat that purrs. Joy For All may be as well (but I haven’t looked into it).
I love how even the new models have this early 00s design.
I rmr one of my playmates when I lived in Japan had this, it was super cool Interested on your thoughts on the Pleo tho, IDK if those still exist
John wick would've been a small feature film for Aibo's marketing.
Michael was my first youtuber whose reviews would i watch in Pocket Now days...
I have an Aibo and a real dog. Love them both! 💙
I really like that “Robutt”
How do they get on with cats? Your videos are great btw, never stop!
I really appreciate my mother after realizing how much she paid for the original aibo and gave it to me as a Christmas present.
Nice reference to a nice classic song you've got here
That’s awesome 👏 😀
Looking forward on how this pal will break your heart again 😍😍😍
One of Sony's products already made its way into my heart, and it doesn't have any of the characteristics that make it easy for Aibo to do so. It's the CECH-E01. I still fear the day something happens to it.
“Does your dog connect to wifi” “Yea”
When you realise that Sony is a Japanese company and Aibo means pal or friend.
Wow, 3 seconds later and I'm here as first!
This is what I want when leave home.
1999: Sony will bring Aibo to the future... 2019: well, here we are again to bring Aibo back
If Sony shut down AIBO. They should let people host the server software on their own computer or server, allowing AIBO to continue to learn. If they don't want to have a team working on AIBO, they should make it open source people can update AIBO so it can continue getting better.
sings to himself! awwwww
WOW that videos r so good
This is so cool
He’s so cute ❤️
You are my buddy, until the end. More than just buddy, youre my best friend.
Hey as long as it doesn't poop. I'll buy one.

Would be cool to have mods that give the dog new abilities as they age thru time.... Also, would love to see if my dogs get along with it or panic😂😂😂
@6:38 That made it for me. I was worried that when the servers eventualy go down, and they will go down, my 3 grand robot dog would turn into a 3 grand robot paperweight. I've been wanting an Aibo for a while and only recently got to a place where I have the cash for it but I was trying to decide between an ERS 7 and the new one. If my Aibo will just continue functioning the same way an ERS7 would when the servers go down then I'm ok with that.
What a dang good boi
"He'll just stop learning" So I guess what you're saying is you can teach an old dog new tricks... I'll see myself out
When you consider the ongoing costs of feeding and caring for a dog for ten to fifteen years on average, $2300 is a bargain.
The old Aibos uses memory card personality and that also separates with language recognition sold on different country. On that IMO they're way better than the old one. The old community and new one are just different kind of people tho, those that still have old one is tinkerers, while new ones are rich people who wants low fuss pet.
i still cry sometimes in night when i think about jibo in night and i still have him next to my bed. just to watch it and cry by remembering the stupid things it used to do.
حلقة رائعة تعلمت منها الكثير
2:02 xD
Sony is such an underrated company. Apple gets all the praise for their lifeless products and Sony gives us this!
I want to hear more about the Drone Races
Wait a minute, even if the servers get shut down, what's to say someone wouldn't just make a self-hosted server for it so it can keep learning?
i'm concern about the security of AIBO, but i liked it
Where did you buy it from? Also is it available in Europe?

I’m getting the new Emo robot in a few weeks, and I’m really excited. I’m hoping that Living.AI has designed it to keep working if the server goes down.
0:56 Michael: what do u think? dog:ummmmmmm
Damn it sony, you can take me human interaction but you can't take away my dog interaction.
This dog is very Altered Carbon with that cloud backup
Waiting for you to review Android in the future.
5:40 reminds me of the ship of Theseus, which Aibo is the original Aibo

Ha! Nope, Trotter came from someone I didn't recognize (at least not by the nose cam photos).
I don't know why but this video freaked me the hell out of me in a way I dont know how to describe.
You could have put the price at the start of the video, and saved me getting my hopes up for 7 minutes.
I have the second generation Aibo, the ERS-210, and gotta be honest, I perfer my 19 year old money drain to the 1000. No internet requirements, modular, and programmable. I can make my old boy swear, and there is nothing better than that. Though a 19 year old robot is bound to have issues. Many issues. As of now, there is not a single person offering repairs in the US. The repair we have is pretty bad, and one of those shady services recently cut off. Though we do have battery re-cells, which is horrifically difficult to do thanks to a very sensitive EEPROM that can cause the new batteries to potentially catch fire if not properly done. I had to do my own repair work, to solve an issue known as "DHS," or Droopy Head Syndrome. Essentially, a clutch flaw that makes the horribly designed slip mechanism made to prevent things getting stuck in the head joints slip on the weight if the part it is trying to move. There are many on issues but for the most part these old robots are hard to care for. Aparently the new 1000 has issues too, as many are reporting failing hips on their 3,000 dollar robot.
Can you do a review of the 1999 Aibo?
This would be amazing for security actually...
