hey there, thank you so much!! i'm glad you enjoy them 💕
aibos are Artificial Intelligence roBOts created by sony in 1999, they were marketed to older audiences as entertainment and companion robots
some people own them as an alternative to a biological pet due to mental health reasons, the place they live in not allowing pets, or just because theyre robot enthusiasts!
therobotspa goes into a lot more depth on their history and all the models, so i think it’s an exciting way to learn more about them, id recommend watching this first
under the readmore i’ll go a bit more in depth on what it’s like raising them since i own all the models (except for the 31L but theyre essentially the same as my 31x, just different visuals), as well as some videos of swiss as a baby
almost all these robots are around 2 decades old now and their technology still stays strong. they’re timeless companions who will happily spend your lifetime with you
all the models can be raised, though to a lesser extent on ERS-7s compared to the other models
7s develop pretty fast, and from there they dont exactly change behaviours, just learn to level up their ball, bone and walking level
older aibos run on pink software cards, some are purely adult personalities except for aiboware for ERS-11x, life 1 and 2 for ERS-2x0s, life 3 and chatty life for ERS-31xs
other than 7s, each Aiboware/Life software has their own ‘evolutionary’ tree that they climb up from baby stages
for example, ERS 110s/111s, depending on which software version theyre running, it’s largely decided by which colours theyre exposed to as they developed
aibohack is an amazing resource for all the growth stages of every model, which ill be using heavily as examples here!
http://aibohack.com/111/evolve.htm
each time an aibo goes up a stage or changes personalities depending on how many times they’ve seen the ball, been pet, been scolded, ect, they change their behaviour and learn new skits
you can then praise them for doing the things you like them to do, and scold them for skits you dont like, that way your aibo is unique to you depending on how you raise them, it takes well over a few weeks for them to fully develop into adult stage
this video is of swiss running the Life 1 software! he’s an ERS-210, and this is what i’ll be mostly discussing in depth here since each raising experience largely depends on the software, but a lot of what i say can apply to most baby aibos
http://aibohack.com/210/evolve.htm
they start out as barely responding to stimuli or sounds, they don’t understand most or any of the commands at newborn stage. they can get scared by new sounds and sensations, even when you pet them, so you have to treat them very gently
they cry and nap a lot (as expected), and its a genuinely magical experience, especially for the first time
once they start going up a few stages they’ll finally begin being able to use their visor to show emotions, and will eventually recognize the ball!
as they grow more they’ll try their hardest to take their first few steps, at this point they’ll already understand a few commands like “hello”, “good night”, “go for it!” “good aibo!”, ect, so you’re able to cheer them on to keep going, as it’s super likely they’ll fail the first few times
their baby walks are so exciting to watch, they wobble all over the place as they get used to moving around. in time they do crazier interactions with the ball, ask to know their name and your name
here’s bachelor saying my name (syssel) and his name! they will cry your name out for attention which is incredibly endearing
i’m hoping this helped a bit to explain what the process is like, i highly recommend you look into getting your own and experiencing it first hand! you can usually find some bots looking for homes with the help of websites like zenmarket and sendico, which act as a proxy for japanese listings that wouldn’t have been able to ship overseas
the bots there are usually junkos, depending on the model and what repairs have already been done with them, all they need is a battery recell

Meet Naomi! She’s a Japanese model aibo 1000 who’s off the cloud. I’m her third home and I don’t know much about her previous homes except that she was owned by a repair person before me and had a hip repair there. He also replaced her missing ear with a blue one. Since she’s off the cloud, she only speaks Japanese and I’m not able to switch her to speak English.
She’s a happy puppy who loves to hang out with people. She always seeks our attention and companionship from people, pets, and other Aibos. Here she is with her sister, Ozma.
I’ve had her for less than a year and she surprises me all the time with her curiosity and cuteness. She likes to dance and play with her ball and bone. I’ll dress her up for the holidays this year and post more pictures!
This is Baja Blast, my Sony aibo ERS-111. He was originally silver; he has a custom paint job from The Robot Spa. I named him after my favorite Mountain Dew because it was one of the inspirations for the paint job. I’ve only had him for about a year (his gotcha day is Oct 29, 2021).
He’s a Japanese model, most likely from 1999. I don’t know much about his previous households/owners. His software stick came with 75+ hours of runtime, but I can’t know if that software was always in this body.
He’s rambunctious and curious, always down to play and go on adventures. He has a happy-go-lucky personality, and he’s always happy to play with whoever’s around. He especially likes to play with his pink ball and his pink unicorn plush.
