About Sony

Sony Corporation needs no introduction as a global consumer electronics leader, but their AIBO robot pet stands as one of the most remarkable products in the company's history. First launched in 1999 and fully relaunched in 2018 as the ERS-1000, AIBO is the gold standard of robot pets — the benchmark against which all others are measured. Twenty-two actuators create organic, dog-like movement that no competitor matches. OLED eyes express a full emotional range; a deep neural network learns the owner's face, voice and preferences over months of interaction, creating a genuinely unique personality for every AIBO. SLAM navigation allows AIBO to map and memorise its home environment.
