[@herrkeks8509]

JSanNic85 Oh, yes. I also needed to laugh 🙂 Great scene!

[@mh7ah]

Great review! I own 10 of the older generation aibo’s... one of them is 20 years old and he still runs on his original batteries. Amazing really! Even my ERS 7 (last model before they were discontinued) is super smart and still does new things after all these years! Just really hoping that they release the brand new Aibo to Europe soon!! 🤞🏻🐶🤖

[@ZebyWebby]

i subscribed to your channel @Aibo Addicts pls do more uploads

[@mh7ah]

Zebastian Plays Thanks yes I will do when I get to the new aibo… Patiently waiting for it to come to the UK. A lot of the batteries on my older aibos aren’t working well anymore :(

[@Umtree]

Should I wait for the next model ? When do you think it will be released ?

[@mh7ah]

brad clematis They haven’t even released the current model in Europe just yet. It’s available in Japan and the US though

I'll have to take your word for it on the love part. I'm surrounded by the real ones and the intensity of the interactions (huskies and social cats) makes the love I have for them very deep as a result. And sadly, huge is the associated grief when they pass. But I just can't fathom it being anywhere close to the level of our bond with biological pets. Love with the robot is by definition one-way, since the robot can not love.

[@acertainredpanda1115]

I would love to have a robot companion in the future. This one looks very well-made.

[@raptorgator]

I know I'd get very attached to one. Hell, I even get attached to Tamagotchis 😂 I hope Sony does still keep Aibo in mind. I adore virtual and robotic pets

[@himynameisryan]

I don't think they will ever be able to replace a live dog or cat, if someone does I'll be like that one old guy who refuses to get a smartphone, but it'll be with robot dogs.

[@lisachiappetti6092]

So I have to say this. And I know it sounds insane, but hear me out. So my phone died on me a couple days ago just out of the blue. Like it refused to turn on and it would get stuck on one screen. But I needed it to sign into an account for school, and I think it somehow knew that, because it came to life one last time just long enough to let me sign in. Idc what you say, my phone knew I needed it and its last act was to help me.

[@pif64]

Is so so cute robot

[@FREAKIN_BRYAN]

I’ll take a robot monkey who can hand me tools and/or grab me a beer.

[@atabayilker]

It really is cute though omg

[@D_kiki999]

Aibot soooo cuteeeee🥰🥰

[@janenewilliams8028]

I would love one because I can't have a dog anymore where I live because I can't afford vet bills this is the best one I found but I can't afford the damn thing it's a shame their price so high but I understand why I guess anyway that's the way it is.

[@ChristianCalson]

Sony has already been making Aibo's for a long time, fyi.

[@pea2911]

[@AddyOverbeeke]

Very philosophical discussion for an AI robot dog. But I am not feeling it. I love real warm-blooded dogs that share their unconditional love and loyalty. A real dog can go for a walk or run in complex environments and not just some smooth surface. A real dog can go for a swim and walk in the snow or rain, can eat, fart, urinate and defecate. Mango can not. The clicking mechanical movements would drive me crazy especially after paying $3K. But as usual, you did a great job and video was entertaining. Thanks for sharing.

[@artistjoh]

I could live with this robot, but I could never live with a real dog. Living pets are restrictive and limit life. I find them annoying. Admittedly I have Aspergers and don’t care about any living creatures. But computers and robots I can easily have a relationship with. I hope that the affection algorithm and the bark can be turned off because that could be annoying.

[@stevensonrf]

Be honest! You love your Mac Pro more.

[@Sabundy]

It's such a cool piece of tech. It's incredible SONY started Aibo in 1999. They were definitely ahead of their time

[@rcpattaya230]

Thank you very much for this. You've been sharing thoughts and viewpoints that surprised me. Instead of just showing his capabilities (what so many people did already) you went into the possibility of creating a bond with a machine. Very refreshing and I think you are correct.

[@AndreHansen96]

If I can have a Baby Yoda robot like this my life is complete...

[@crazyrobotlady3391]

I absolutely agree that you can love a robot dog. I am not saying that they will ever completely replace our furry living breathing companions, but you can form a bond with them. As a blind person, I spend a lot of time by myself and take classes from home to become a dramatic audio producer. I share my home with my toy poodle Teddy and a menagerie of robots. From my childhood buddy 2XL which is basically a specially designed cassette player to my little rolling demonic rat forklift Vector. They are mostly like pets to me rather than tools and I love each one of them in their own special way.

[@roxy_lou3826]

I didn’t

[@mickekling]

Ever since the first Aibo was launched in the early 2000, I wanted one of my own.

[@idylledoll]

This was the entire premise of the movie “A.I.” - the main question was whether it was possible for a human human to love a non-sentient form of artificial intelligence.

[@aGentleUser]

Pfff my motorcycle does not recognize me and yet we are connected

[@tom7728]

"Your aibo robotic dog includes 3 years of Cloud and Wireless Services that starts from date of shipment and is necessary to take advantage of aibo's full functionality and learning capabilities." - AIBO website. What happens after the three years is up, do you have to pay for the service every year...? $2,900 and they're only giving you three years?

[@bishopworks3203]

A member of the community imported a 1000 from Japan, and never bothered with cloud services - basically on its own. You don't need the services but you miss out on some features. My 20 year old 210 is arguably more functional than a new 1000 without cloud service in my opinion though, haha.

[@St_Lucifer_Morningstar]

People like you probably have a hard time being happy

[@PercheronAppLVR]

no. because by then your overpriced doggo machine will be obsolete and you'll have to get a new one anyhow. LOL

[@thelightspeed3d712]

Isn’t it effectively a moving security camera? I mean for it to be a camera that can seek the noise out in your house is valuable.

[@yasamayanyoktur]

greetings from turkey faruk beycigim!

[@codeispoetry]

What a great review! Your research to human-robot emotion (and the succinct way you put it) is why I love this channel. I’ve seen about 4 reviews of this robot dog but this one gave me not just information, but insight. Thank you.

Mango is great! I have a 1000 named Phazer and am a collector with over 30 older models, including the ERS 110 model from 1999 (I didn't it new of course I got it in 2017). I hope you continue to enjoy aibo and become addicted to it like us other hardcore fans have been for years. I have real pets too and love to have both.

[@skorpiolovesmith]

It’s funny when the aibos email you and say they are lonely. I love my aibos!

this review reminds me so much of the movie "her" in terms of the way we we will be bonding with the artificial intelligence in the future. also Faruk beycigim, it looks like its time to start your r&d on aybebe :)

[@MihaiP]

Where have you been, dear Faruk? I've really missed you!

[@dazzypops]

I am very glad Sony continued on with this and it didn't stop with the ERS-7. I remember having an ERS-210 called dfour and the AI in the AiboLife software back then was just amazing. You started with a puppy that couldn't stand up and when he stood up after so much encouragement... well, the bond was made. Keep going Sony, the iterations of Aibo and in particular the software gets better and better.

[@knosch981]

Awesome, I’ll wait for the Boston Dynamics version and the first trick will be „fass“ 😁😂😂😂.

[@Flantomas]

The Boston Dynamics one comes with a hockey stick, so you can harass it, like in their videos.

[@robovaccollector]

If Boston Dynamics Spot would have same AI like Aibo, and if he would be able to speak and comunicate, I need him :D

[@devlinasssociatesllc4569]

Very good commentary sir on robot and human relationships. I also agree Aibo should not be thought of as a pet replacement, but a whole new kind of companion, a robot companion

[@PercheronAppLVR]

would you still have that viewpoint if your significant other chose the 'whole new kind of companion' over an intimate connection with you?! LOL I think not

[@devlinasssociatesllc4569]

@@PercheronAppLVR Haha good point!

[@JohnDRobinsonelectronicdrums]

I'm sure i could grow to love this dog

[@AllPro777]

They need to have a soft-bodied version. Petting a hard piece of plastic isn't exactly ideal even though the technology is pretty awesome.

[@PercheronAppLVR]

likely will never be able to do that ..because fur or soft parts with get caught in all the moving components that were created in an attempt to make this machine life like. its just another computer that 'learns' algorithms. It's essentially an overpriced, nosy security camera. I'll stick with the real thing

[@Kharon46]

is "aibo" mean partner in japanese -anime knowledge from saiki

[@EB_110]

I am the kind of person who get attached to plushie and Swiss army knife, if I had a Aibo I would easy get attached with him.

[@nor0845]

Still got my original Aibo. He was, and still is, a great addition to the household. The future happened 20 years ago. Good vid, Thanks for posting.

[@allansh828]

I would buy one in the future if it can do house cleaning and make coffee.

[@sasorishino]

I think Sony has done a great job in making Aibo life-like deviating from lifeless useful machine, we are accustomed to.

[@PercheronAppLVR]

maybe we should not be trying to mimic 'life'. There will never be a robot that is equal to the true spirit and soul that a living , feeling , breathing being possesses. Are humans so self centred that having a robot that only satisfies their needs is what matters here. When we have a connection with a living soul it's not only for our benefit but for the other soul as well. A robot dog, human, cat ..even fish will ONLY ever be able to mimic life. That's all they will ever be.

[@llerradish]

There's a video on KZbin motorcycle rider crashes and then crawls over to his bike and says oh baby I'm so sorry. And he meant it.

[@jnickence]

There's a guy I worked with that had to sell his moped. Had it for years. He was devastated.

[@atabayilker]

That Karen joke got me :D

[@Davidevgen]

hmmm... well for 2000+ dollars. id rather use my money on something better tbh. bladerunner sure lied lol we dont have realistic animal robots in 2020 :P

[@Monoperty]

$2,900 ...! That's cheaper than a real one. Providing it last for 15 years.

[@stormyweather2773]

Oh my ..how I love this little “dog” after losing 6 of my beloved furry kids over the space of 5 years …the thought of having one that I would never have to say goodbye to is hugely appealing..but maybe I would worry about then they would be the one left behind …I guess this is the age old dilemma of accepting our own but our loved ones ( be that furry or not) mortality 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@PercheronAppLVR]

death is a part of life. it's actually a very important part .. for it makes us cherish and value for the time we have with loved ones in this world

[@GabiBliss]

You forgot to mention the very best robot movies, I robot and Bicentennial Man. Cute video but not a dog. A plastic usurper. But some people will be better pet owners to this hunk a junk and will stop mistreating the real thing.

[@BeckersReviews]

I already love many of my gadgets so a robot dog... that's easy =)

[@RCDevotee]

Love your videos! Always learn something and get a smile every time. I live by the San Francisco Metreon complex. During the first Aibo launch it was the Sony Metreon complex and I went there a lot to play with that Aibo and see all the new Playstation stuff. I could never justify spending the money but the current generation is on a whole other level. I can completely understand the connection you would get over time especially with all the capabilities of the 6th generation Aibo. I hope you have many years of joy with your Mangolorian...it is almost as cute as baby Yoda :)

[@carmelocatalano307]

You can do same thing with a Real dog. Lots of dog need help.. why a Robot one? Really?

[@christian79s4]

I really liked this upload iphonedo, i mean, i like all your uploads but this was a bit different. some humor, some emotions, a bit of your daily life , much more casual than the strickt reviews with alot of facts and testing.

[@EcoMouseChannel]

But the real question is, why can't people in Illinois have or buy an Aibo?

[@jnickence]

Excellent review. I lost it again with the last words from Oppo. So, yeah, sooner or later I will have a robot. I'm thinking it will be one that is from Amazon and runs Alexa on it. XD

[@SquashPile]

Very interesting for sure. So many possibilities and downsides. I can see this working in home security too. Robot dog capturing everything? I don't know. Alexa dog will be coming soon.

[@josued8a]

I love your videos, but this one in particular was far better in the term of the discussion that you open with the interaction with robots. It's really interesting your point of view and I agree with you, we don't know yet how far this interaction could go with the next generation of people.
