2026 Suede Touch Model aibo Cocoa Chiffon Edition is Born
Based on feedback from our owners, a new addition has arrived.
Introducing the 2026 Suede Touch Model
aibo Cocoa Chiffon Edition.
Design
Featuring "Cocoa Soufflé," reminiscent of warm cocoa and the softness of chiffon cake.
The vibrant contrast between the irresistibly touchable face and the white body adds an elegant and striking accent to aibo's expression.
A Soft and Fluffy "Suede Touch" Texture
Following the high praise we received at the "aibo Fan Meeting Vol. 20," we've adopted the "Suede Touch" finish, featuring a brushed surface, for the faceplate.
The fluffy softness and warm texture make interacting with aibo even more special.
Message from the Development Team
Finally, an aibo with a new tactile feel has arrived!
The color is a warm brown to match the soft texture.
It's difficult to convey this little guy's charm without seeing him in person.
Please come and meet him, touch him, and see his cuteness for yourself.
Design Team
We went through numerous prototypes, hoping to express this texture using the suede touch technique.
Introducing the suede touch aibo that feels truly alive.
Please visit our stores and give him lots of love!
Engineering Team
The suede touch aibo that everyone has been requesting is finally here!
I'll never forget the feeling of touching its fluffy face for the first time.
Please experience this unprecedented level of skinship with aibo.
