Communicating By Voice - Sony AIBO Explorer User Manual

Communicating by voice

AIBO uses a stereo microphone located at its ear to recognize a variety of sounds
and words. Therefore, you can greet, instruct or ask AIBO a question by saying
appropriate words. AIBO almost always responds to you, but may ignore you if it
feels sleepy or is in a bad mood. When you talk to AIBO abruptly, it is puzzled and
seems to think about what you said. Repeat the words to AIBO.
The face front light A of AIBO lights momentarily when AIBO hears the word(s)
you said.
See page 86 for words understood by AIBO.
Notes
• When you call out to AIBO, speak very clearly and under quiet conditions. Note that it
is not easy for AIBO to understand you when it is making a sound or is moving.
• Even though the face front light A of AIBO lights momentarily, AIBO may have
misunderstood the word(s) you said or it may not act as instructed.
