AIBO learns the name you give him. his built-in stereo microphone, voice-recognition technology
What it can do?
Grassroots of AIBO - Early 1990’s Advances in terms of computer processors,
artificial intelligence, voice recognition and visual technology
Dr. Toshi Doi had the ingenious idea that these technologies could be brought together to conceive an autonomous robot
By 1997 the first prototypes were beginning to emerge
History
The very first prototype actually had six legs and was the first step to having a robot on legs
History
Touch ◦ On his head, chin and back
Hearing ◦ Stereo microphones
Sight◦ A camera in his head
Other Sensors◦ Infrared distance sensor, an acceleration sensor,
and a temperature sensor, pressure sensor etc.
