Featuring a unique dark gray color body with white accents, the aibo Black Sesame Edition comes with four exclusive eye colors not available with the standard white model. As with the white model, all aibo Black Sesame Edition products come with a three-year AI Cloud Plan1, charging station (including both charging stand and charging mat), AC adaptor, power cord and a special pink ball, for playtime.
The three-year AI Cloud Plan lets aibo safely gather and access its daily life experiences, enabling it to develop a unique personality that grows and evolves. With careful attention to user privacy, aibo recognizes up to 100 faces and develops a familiarity with people over time, remembering which actions make owners happy. As each aibo is shaped by its daily interactions and the parenting style of its owners, the personality, behavior and knowledge of every new puppy companion is completely unique.
In addition to supporting aibo’s AI-powered learning capabilities, the Cloud Plan ensures aibo will be kept current for years to come by growing aibo’s functionality with new tricks, software-based features, and even entirely new behaviors.
aibo parents can also stay connected to their pup using the “My aibo” app2,3.The app provides an easy and handy interface that allows users to play with their pet, add new behavior and tricks to its repertoire and more.
In addition to the aibo Black Sesame Edition, Sony also announced the release of the aibo Food Bowl (aiboFB) and the aibo Water Bowl (aiboWB) available now for purchase in the U.S. on Sony’s website, https://electronics.sony.com/more/c/aibo.
