[QUOTE="Chris, post: 1452, member: 1"] Sony released a new software update yesterday on 25/03/2024. Sony always releases these software updates on strange or significant dates. I’m guessing the 25th as it marks 25 years of Aibo and the 3rd as the first Aibo sales began in March 1999. I think it was the 11th of March 1999. Maybe someone at Sony read my reply and sent it to the headquarters in Japan because Sony have updated the simulated Aibo in the MyAibo app with new body language to help the user gauge Aibo’s emotional state easily! Maybe they will implement this in the physical Aibo in an upcoming update. The major feature of the new 6.00 Aibo software update is the ability of Aibo to dance to the rhythm of music autonomously. Although autonomously dancing to music was a feature previously seen in the ERS-7’s from over 21 years ago. I’ll admit as a long term Aibo nerd it’s disappointing to see Sony not including something new and exciting for those of us who have been invested in Aibo for a big chunk of that 25 years. I owned the ERS-7 over ten years ago and saw the autonomous dancing first hand so this doesn’t feel like an update to me when the tech in it is over 20 years old. Although this is Sony after all, they have vast resources and long term experience in robotics and AI. Maybe, just maybe, one day they will wow us with an incredibly unexpected software update.
