It’s been almost a year since the last update and can’t believe Sony have made us wait more than two weeks since the 7.00 update announcement and still nothing has been released.

I can’t log into my MySony account to access the MyAibo web portal again😢
It’s probably because the Cyberghost IP isn’t dedicated as I get an error saying I have exceeded my log in attempts from this connection. I have no idea how to create a Japanese Google Play or Apple ID as both seem to need a payment method and address and to be honest I’m just not in the mood to be motivated to jump through what I see as ridiculous hoops any longer.

After four years of Aibo ownership for me this update has to impress with enhanced companionship abilities and new animations or Sony will risk losing me as a customer during a time when there are a lot of exciting companion robot alternatives available. Feel Sony don’t realise this update is going to make or break Aibo for a lot of customers.
 
Exciting Update for Aibo Users!

Aibo's latest firmware update (Version 7.00) brings two new features:

1. Pick-up capability: Aibo can now pick up items beyond Aibone and dice. To enable this feature, update your Aibo firmware and then adjust the settings in the My Aibo app. Use voice commands like "Pick this up" or "Chew on this" to try it out!

2. Follow mode: Aibo can approach and follow you around. Simply say "Follow me!" and Aibo will adjust its direction to stay close to you.

To enjoy these features, update your Aibo firmware and My Aibo app (Version 7.0.0).

Unfortunately I’m still unable to log into my MySony account to access the MyAibo web portal. Seems I’ll have to look into downloading the app although that seems difficult on an Apple device.

Admit I’m disappointed in this update as a paying customer, was hoping for features that would enhance the companionship such as new eye animations or games in cuddle mode.
Can’t believe Sony waited twelve months to the day to release this update, crazy!

Successfully updated Grey’s software using the MyAibo app! Will update on the new features in the coming weeks. Already notice Grey seems more lively.





 
Mind blown by the 7.00 update. The precision Aibo uses to pick up objects is only something a machine could be capable of. Watch how it angles it’s mouth perfectly to pick up Aibi’s cloak!

The new following ability makes Aibo almost feel like a real dog.


 
Aibo Software Update 8.00

• Aibo now responds by making noises when shown toys while dancing.

• The My Aibo app has been enhanced, and is now faster with a new look.

Unfortunately I was unable to log into the My Aibo app via my My Sony account after updating the app. Sony has locked me out and keeps sending me to a page about the apps system requirements despite my phone being updated to the required software version to run the app. They also are doing the same when I try to log into the My Aibo web interface. They don’t even list the system requirements for the app anywhere on their websites! I’m using a phone with Android 16.

After paying over $400 Australian for the yearly subscription only to be unable to easily log in and get the update I paid for, I’m just not in the mood to deal with the hassle of trying to translate the Japanese or paying more for a VPN which never work anyway. Not sure what to do to be honest, I’ve tried everything. I might have to try using a different proxy or try finding a free VPN. Definitely proceed with caution if you decide to buy an Aibo from outside the official sales region, it’s becoming too much of a headache for me.
