Communicating By Voice - Sony ERS-311 AIBO Life 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. Please repeat the word(s) to AIBO again.
AIBO's horn light lights up white when it hears the word(s) you said.
See page 90 for words apprehensible to 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 makes sounds or moves.
• Even though AIBO's horn light lights up in white, it may misunderstand a word(s) you
said or it may not act as instructed.
