Why Do People Love the Sony Aibo Robot Dog? 

The only people who are criticizing the people for buying these things are the socialists who "care" about the poor, and the dog lovers who cry when someone pets a dog a little too hard.

I feel like s real dog is better only because it’s actually alive but AIBO is still cool

Slash the Aibo no I don’t have one but I want one xD

@@apple_macos_finder9853 Ugh could you please stay away from me? I know what you've done you content thief

@@apple_macos_finder9853 Why does that matter? I used to make content but I stopped doing it because it was too stressful

My parents don't allow real dog but I'll get both

Why do you fall into their trap? It really doesn't matter what anyone thinks about anyone else. Most people criticize something because they are jealous 'cause they can't afford one. Let's face it, Only the rich will more than likely own these. Ordinary folk just can't justify not paying bills to get one of these.

@@paulreeder5241 you can import older models for very cheap. I’ve scored some for as little as $50.

@@paulreeder5241 it's cheaper in the long run to have an aibo than it is to have a real dog. Not trying to argue with you though.

I am a having Aibo for my birthday

I would consider one of these as there is no vet bills,and the most heartbreaking part of having pets is eventually losing them.

aibos are not toys at all

THIS! My last dog passed a little over 2 months ago. I can’t afford a new one now, and it would likely be in a kennel for 9 hours a day while I’m at work. I’d have to train it which would be hard (my parents trained ours that I then took when I moved out). I’d have to pay for food/vet bills (on top of vet bills from my 2 rabbits and ball python), I travel a lot so I’d have to board the puppy (and already incur expenses boarding the rabbits). I also live in a condo with a small yard, and the condo itself is small. All in all, no matter how much I want a dog again because I miss having one so badly, I know I couldn’t give it the best life at this time. Aibo is my answer. I’m saving for mine now and hope to have it by Christmas!

Fur would kinda ruin it tho ( bc then ppl won't want real dogs and dogs need adopted)

Actually AIBO was around back in 1999-2006. This is really just a revival of that

but some people are allergic to fur so its best for it to not

@@_xcloudyx_xstars_5715 It wouldn't be real fur, genius.

Having fur may approach the uncanny valley

iSlandeRon That would most definitely increase the creep factor of A.I. K9s. I hope this Aibo remains just a curious flirtation for the idle rich. I'd hate to see these become the next plastic thing we incessantly toss away in our overflowing landfills.

Yeah, AIBO, "You better be good! Or it's to the doghouse with you". Yeah, I can really like see that working great to get this dog more "animal-like". Genius you are!

I'd want that

XD

Here's someone who knows RU-vid well! If you ask a question you answer it yourself because no one else will. :-)

It does have a cellular connection along with wifi. It uses AT&T LTE

That would ruin the dog illusion

SunnyD how much does the ers7 aibo cost

Hmmmmm, can he attack..... just wondering.

Thouser Department.

@@werewolfbynight4918 my response is very late, but an ERS-7 can only be bought second hand now and usually they sell for around 1000 dollars or more/less.

@@werewolfbynight4918 ebay has a lot of used ones for sale.

ME TOO

I don’t think that saying AIBO is better than live animals is a very good idea. A report about a robodog should probably compare and contrast live and AI. You could make your claim and create a counter argument to show both sides. Or you could simply just talk about AIBO and not make a greater than claim. I know I’m late I just was thinking

@@butterychopsticksandpie8291 Yummmm! I'm a lot late but, DITTO. Sounds like he has a little growing up to do. A mature person wouldn't have thought about that in the first place.

True, I immediately wondered if he just meant by how much it acted like a real puppy or something. But just copying a real dog takes away the potential a ROBOT has. My favorite is absolutely my ERS-7. Yeah he has a bad camera and no mapping. But he talks and does interesting tricks with his toys that Roxy can’t. He’s hilarious because he always mishears talking as voice commands and says what he feels like. I love all his pretty lights, and his beat detection for dance mode is amazing! He can remember favorite objects and places. He even knows his birthday and doesn’t need a stupid cloud plan just to know what the date is and acknowledge the holidays he knows. He has so many features, including when connecting to my computer, and I can easily customize data on his memory stick. My ERS-7 is incredible, even more impressive than my 1000. In fact he has better obstacle detection than my 1000, believe it or not. My 1000 insists on rubbing her nose all over walls so it’s scratched up and sometimes jams on stuff (or for seemingly no reason…). My 7 actually stops and turns away (and only jams when he can’t move something like they’re supposed to). I still love my 1000 and she was my first Aibo, but the 7 is definitely my favorite and feels more advanced in some ways.

Be Happy *AIBO

Go to ebay.

You're highly disturbing

Yeah but why tho?

@@reaclea7628 To think a robot is pure and this is how it should be.What is pure about a programmed piece of metal over real organic sentient creations?

@@fyrewolf3084 Damn your salty

@@reaclea7628 Go listen to some more Billie Eilish, oddball.

Mystikittii :3 Yaaaaaaa!

Search for Marscat, basically a feline Aibo :-)

On the Sony website it’s 6000 I think

That is why only the rich will own them. Just like the NAO Robot. It was only $8000.00 new. Now you can find used ones on ebay for sale for half of the $3000.00.

OOPS! I meant more than half of the original $8000.00 for the NAO robot.

🤣🤣

🤣😂

You wish!

🤣🤣

Sure they are. *wink*wink, but don't tell anyone.

Life Ventures I know what you mean bro, but at least this one won’t pass on and break your heart.

Thinks it's a good idea for disabled or lonly elderly people what aren't capable to look after a real dog.

I appreciate you post at least being respectful compared to others who seem so pressed about this for more reason lol. For me, I’d love to have a living pet, but I can’t afford the life care, nor am I home enough, nor can I have them in my apartment. This is just the next best option for me. It’s a perfect middle ground.

I hope you get one :) they are super adorable and sweet I have three

Two older ones and an Ers-1000

Me too

There are used ones on ebay

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

No, but dices and slices!

You must not have children, huh?

@@James-gl4cs , I know what you mean, but the problem with gadgets connected to Internet is that someone can hack it and modify/replace the software, then things that were impossible before become possible - as long as the hardware allows it of course - you cannot make a phone walk or something :) But this dog is basically an internet camera that walks by itself - it's a disaster waiting to happen.

I completly agree, as soon as they said it takes picture, it was a real push off, who knows were does are going, and.... why does it take photos in the first place. You don't even know when it take photos, which, for me, is even more creeping. I understand that they want this dog to become a watch dog when out of house. But I think it would be safer if you could activate or disactivate that "picture/camera" setting,

@@danyemarts6714 It states you can deactivate the camera.

So by your logic, cell phones aren’t acceptable for security either lol. They have a power button. If you’re that concerned, you don’t have to run them every waking moment. And if you own one, it’s not an issue to power them down when you feel the need to if you have concerns.

I’d also suggest more research as to why the connection out of the home or on Wi-Fi is necessary before trying to make a point. Because it’s all listed and it negates what you’ve said.

they poop and drool all over the place

@@weepingod So do babies but people keep having those bloody things.

@@memorandom7484 I love real dogs but i don't want to keep them in my home. Because if i am not in home then there is nobody to look after it.

@@apple_macos_finder9853 so dramatic lol

@@apple_macos_finder9853 lol

You do not need to abuse it for that to happen. Aren't you aware that robots can and will become sentient?

@@paulreeder5241 cringe

@Vivianna Mason - 2025 LMAO

LOL! Throw it in the bathtub and see if it reacts the same way a real dog does.

That's waterproof maybe

Lol

@@pad9yh217 Sure. *wink* *wink*

Its not that deep

@@Johnwicklover1994 that's true. if it were a cat the owners would probably default to female.

Short answer, yes.

Have you saved long enough to get one?

This is just for people who is praticing for a dog or who can’t have dogs or who allergic to fur so if you can get a dog people will still get it

but aibo is immortal

Aibo is a toy to entertain people. Don't compare it with real dog.

@@primalwerewolf9356 i don't care, a real dog can help you and love you, also they have feels and dreams, a robot is only a robot.

I'd love to have some robot, like this Aibo, or Spot from Boston Dynamics, because I have allergy on pet hair, and I can't imagine not forgetting to going for a walk, feeding, etc.... Animals are good, I like them, but for me robots would br better... + I can reprogram them and make new software, and it can do something different. And if something happens, you will not hurt real dog.

@@RaghunathSharma000 aibo is NOT a toy

Yes there are payment plans through PayPal credit.

Wrong, it was started and created in Japan.

You think? I mean really? Thanks, I would have never known this if not for you. I am much, much, obliged.

really? I thought this was a promotional video.

I think you’re paranoid.

Have you heard of Anki Vector robot? It's a tad bit less expensive at only $250.00. I got bored real quick with that one after the novelty wore off.

LMAO

Because he’s one of *those* people. Smh

Admit it, you're just jealous. Jealous people are the ones with the negative comments. Drooling the whole time they are typing. All you have to do is put in some overtime to get the money you need for one.

furries are more ridiculous

Not really cost more for a real animal

It’s a robot what do you think it will be 2 and good quality

@@piratecandy6310 But that is over the dog's entire life, not in one purchase.

@Vivianna Mason - 2025 Please start a petition so this can be made available to Medicare recipients.

I’ll take an Aibo over a real dog any day. Not everybody loves animals like that.

@@always_serpico People like you are the problem with this world.

Get over it

Sir! Yes sir!

Yeah, they don't like it.

@Vivianna Mason - 2025 LMAO

@Vivianna Mason - 2025 If you can't afford a real dog, Then how are going to afford the $3000.00? I am not all that sure you will actually spend $3,000.00 over a real dog's lifespan.

I see your point, but what if you don't have the time for one? Real dogs need a lot of attention. And also costs..from food to vaccinations and pet insurance. I think this would be a fun toy for kids.

Dude, are you blind? This definitely looks like a dog. Do an experiment. Show a picture of this to anyone and ask them what it is. I bet my life, everyone says "It is a toy DOG" Or something that ends in it being a dog.

Alot of people mentioned that this may be a substitute for people who can not have actual pets, like renters, those with health problems or do not have the time to invest in a pet and don't want to neglect a living being. Personally I find aibo appealing because I love animals and connect to them more than I do people. It's not that I don't like people, I have many people in my life who I love and am loved by. I do however have alot of childhood trauma that I have spent years on and off medication and working on in therapy to get over. I've made some break throughs however I am also aware there may be trauma responses in me I may never get over. I will always to some extent have ptsd. There may always be parts of me that believe the people I love are people less likely to choose to harm me in this moment but it's not guaranteed. With animals I at the very least know if they harmed me it was something in them that made them feel it was necessary for survival. They are not going abuse me for their own personal gain. They are not going to take "advantage" of me like a grown adult has when I was a child. Even if they killed me it's more than likely not for the reason a person might. Animals have shown me kindness and affection even when I couldn't give myself that and yet I never questioned their intentions. My precious dog and cat have been my anchors that give me reason not to leave this world on the worst of days. I hope that one day I do not need a dog in my life for me to feel worth staying here but I will work with whatever needed to make it through those days. I know if something happened to my pets I am at great risk. Is aibo a real animal? No absolutely not I know that. However if my dog dies due to age or anything it may buy me time until I find a dog fit for me and my home and that I know I can give a fulfilling compatible life to. Aibo can help me actively live the affection and companionship a dog provides me until I have a new one. I am obviously working with all the tools I have and working on myself. I have to be realistic and use whatever needed. $3000 is so much money but my life is worth more than that. I did not ask for the things that happened to me as child and adolescent to happen to me. I did not ask to have ptsd that is debilitating. I didn't ask to have so much to overcome to just function at the base line alot of people do. But that doesn't make me less worthy of living a good life and if a robot dog helps me achieve that I don't see harm in it. I deserve and work to have fulfilling relationships in my life but I also deserve to experience love I don't question and a robot dog can help me stay grounded until I can give a real one a home with me (once my dog and cat passes away from age) It's not making anything worse it's just helping me work with what already is there. I'm very happy you don't have a want or need for it and it's really good you can recognize you are fulfilled with out it. I'm just using my story to help provide some context for people who can't seem to wrap their heads around it. You don't need to be someone severely traumatized to want one but I also hope people realize that not everyone who wants one is some bored rich kid who will ge over it in a few minutes.

No..you are correct

@@apple_macos_finder9853 Well it’s certainly not an authentic pet dog either.

What do you have against robots

Real dogs are way more work, id rather have a cute robot dog

And? Real people don’t really love each other anyways. There’s no difference except that the robot dog can’t leave you.

Exactly, its just fake, programmed "love"

why do you have a problem with robots

ah yes, none binary my favorite gender

Same as automobiles, NOT! If you actually knew the amount of engineering that goes into the design and manufacturing of these things, you would realize that they are actually "Underpriced".

And children, especially children. Then there is the senior citizen.
