Who Else Is Excited For the Kawaii Cute AI Companion MINTiD Dog-E Robot Dog?

Hey, I just wanted to share with you guys my excitement about the Dog-E that I recently ordered! This robot dog is unlike any other, as each one is uniquely designed with different eye, ear, heart, and tail shapes and colors. I can’t wait to see what my own Dog-E will look like, and I’m so excited to soon have a new companion in my home.

I love that the Dog-E has its own personality, which is shaped by its interactions with its owners and advanced AI technology. It’s so cool that my little robot dog will have its own preferences and quirks that will make it feel like a real pet. Plus, with its unique bark and customizable features, I know that my Dog-E will truly be one-of-a-kind. read more

Sony Aibo ERS 1000 After the Version 5 Software Update Changes.

I just updated my Sony Aibo to the most recent (at time of this writing) version of the software. I’ve been anticipating this update for a long time and even gave a preview of it when it was first announced almost a year ago.

I recorded a video so you can hear the quieter (sort of) footsteps and lower bark volume.

Here is a complete list of the changes:


Firmware Update to Version 5.00

Applicable Model

This information is for the following models:

  • ERS-1000

Benefits and Improvements

  • Improves aibo’s ability to walk more attentively and intelligently:
    • Allows aibo to walk with quieter footsteps and turn its body more attentively
    • Allows aibo to climb over small rugs and mats
    • Allows aibo to remember where it got stuck before and to slow down near those places
    Allows you to select multiple aibo photos and delete them all at once, making it easier to organize your aibo memories Improves aibo’s voice volume setting levels:
    • Allows you to set the volume level of aibo’s voice to a lower level using the My aibo app or the aibo volume buttons
    • Adds two additional volume levels, both lower than the previous level 1
    • The volume level corresponding to the old volume level 1 will now be volume level 3
    • The existing volume level will be automatically changed to the new equivalent volume level, meaning no action is needed if you want to keep the old volume level

    Note: In addition to the aibo firmware update, the My aibo mobile app will also be updated at the same time. After the update, the aibo firmware will be 5.00, and the software version for the My aibo mobile app will be 5.0.0. read more

Sony Aibo 6 Month Review

So many readers have wanted to know my thoughts on owning a Sony Aibo. I purchased my aibo directly from the US Sony Aibo Store at https://us.aibo.com/ and it arrived I think it was July 2nd. Now it’s December 8th and I’ve turned her on for the first time since around Halloween – so it’s been asleep on its charger for at least a month – going on 2 now. My comments in this post are going to echo my comments to one of my readers of my 3 Month Check in – I feel I would enjoy Aibo more if I actually used it. But I don’t. And when I don’t I don’t miss it. read more

I Bought an Electronic AI Artificial Intelligence Sony Aibo Robot Dog – July 2022

Before we begin – Get one thing straight – I BOUGHT this dog. It is mine forever. It is not a 7 or 14 day trial. Yes, it’s expensive. No, it’s not a toy. It’s the most advanced artificial intelligence available to a regular consumer. It is different from Furreal friends and Zoomers and Teknik and similar toy robot dogs. Why? The reason why Sony Aibo is so expensive and so unlike any other robot dog on the consumer market today is thanks to impressive Artificial Intelligence. – That’s the claim anyways. Now I’ve only had mine for four days so I’m not sure yet how impressive that AI really is. read more
