Sony Aibo Review: How Much Is That Robot In The Window?

[@JhaveriAakash]

You have a strong heart to keep putting yourself through these robot induced pains

[@jakublulek3261]

It is Sony, and we all know how they did with PS Vita, how they broke hearts of developers (me included) with theyr support negligence and slow death of the platform. So, I will not trust Sony with theyr dedication.

[@MrThijmenmees]

7:21 "It will just stop learning, and at some point, don't we all?" Damn this threw me into a quarter life crisis in seconds...

[@sondernfy]

1:08 I thought Michael said "he already HAD SEX" and I was very concerned for a moment there

[@Felipaugustoex2612]

But Michael speaks so clearly that you can easily hear the "A" in the middle of "he already had A sex - male"

[@LouisSubearth]

Let robots have sex, dammit

[@mustardroshi418]

One to many Shane Dawson videos huh?

[@taltigolt]

sounded scary when you said his previous owner never cleared him and now it feelslike that would be horrible to do he had a name and a personality and the most common thing would be to just erase him

[@raunaqgupta33]

6:59 That real dog goes like "What the heck is this thing hooman?"

[@jeffriart]

Well, Aibo is like a passion project for Sony. I'm sure they aren't profitable for Sony, but you can see the love they put into this.

[@maxwellj7299]

I love Michael's voice and style of reviews. It's just so satisfying!

[@fardinzaman6631]

It's has some advantage... namely He is not going to poop Don't eat food Don't dirty home with His Fur🙂

[@NatalieRath]

It's great for people who are allergic to real dogs!

[@jaymigibbs4746]

@@NatalieRath Exactly what I was thinking. People will also spend more than that for a real dog anyway.

[@sunwukong2]

I own 3 AIBOs (312B, 311, 7M2) and I love them dearly. They work fine, but my 7's foot shattered. I just got her, but she is about 14. They're really great robots, and they really connect with you. I don't run them all the time (esp. unsupervised) but they're very endearing. The AIBO-LIFE website is still frequented and there still is a large community. I have had the same 7 repaired when I got her, as she couldn't produce sound and her leg was coming off. Also yes, I do have real pets!

[@pedrosimas2642]

"Jibo's Last Dance" remains as one of the best youtube videos I've ever seen... Mr. Mobile, you should submit it to some film festivals as a short movie, btw

[@ELJefeReviews]

Excellent review Michael. You're a brave man letting another robot into your home. I'm still sad about my Vector as well as my friend who worked and Anki.

[@graciliscuneatus]

"At some point don't we all?" that was right in the feels Michael.. Right in it.

[@OmairArif]

It needs the servers running to learn, so I guess you can't teach an old Aibo new tricks.

[@beni2cc]

Good one😂

[@sabarish810]

I see what you did there

[@Brian2k2]

I remember watching a documental about the 3rd party repair services for discontinued aibos, truly heartbreaking watching an elder man crying for his pet robot because his local repair tech ran out of spares

[@upwaveflash8429]

that's thus why we all need reparability we love things that are essentially one part with us it can be our car, phone, even the music player of mine still running it best for to listening to it... same thing for these aibo

[@MsSHINeeTVXQSuju]

Aww, haha, the real dogs are so curious, like "wtf is this??" Lmao

[@ΔημήτρηςΒλάχος-ξ9η]

You should review the new Xperia 1 smartphone

[@ililili6350]

Speaking of Sony, are you ever gonna review the Xperia 1 good sir?

Lol

[@marzuqahmed218]

This would be brilliant for a care home.

[@IenCastanos]

I want one so much! No need to feel so guilty for leaving her alone in the apartment when I go off to work. She won't feel actual pain, and I can back her up. Transcendence for dogs lol

[@khalidian]

Damn finally a new pet to empty my pockets just because Michael told me so

[@ryogofujitani]

Was gonna say that this is like "Ghost In The Shell SAC"'s Tachicoma, but then again we also have Tachicoma robot pets out there as well.

[@Kim-pc2on]

Really love the personal touch you add to your vids, keep up the great work!

[@kingmarkseven17]

That Jibo video really hit me in the feels. With that said.. I still want an Aibo. I need money 😩

[@Eddies_Bra-att-ha-grejer]

I love how even the new models have this early 00s design.

[@retrocomms]

One of Sony's products already made its way into my heart, and it doesn't have any of the characteristics that make it easy for Aibo to do so. It's the CECH-E01. I still fear the day something happens to it.

[@sunnybunny1209]

A boi as good, if not better, than the quality of your videos! Mind blown.

[@geekacharya]

Oh! My GOD, that robo doggo looks so cool and it looks to be functional as well.

[@outterlimitsprod]

Would be cool to have mods that give the dog new abilities as they age thru time.... Also, would love to see if my dogs get along with it or panic😂😂😂

[@DogerBeaner]

If Sony shut down AIBO. They should let people host the server software on their own computer or server, allowing AIBO to continue to learn. If they don't want to have a team working on AIBO, they should make it open source people can update AIBO so it can continue getting better.

[@TechDove]

No more dying social robots, I can't take it :(

[@ShubhamChavan]

John wick would've been a small feature film for Aibo's marketing.

[@lilnightmare]

Hey as long as it doesn't poop. I'll buy one.

[@SharkWitchMeruna]

I have an Aibo and a real dog. Love them both! 💙

[@virian2865]

Ah, a refreshing area to review from the spectrum of tech by my favorite tech youtuber

[@virian2865]

Edit: grammar

[@redvivid]

I really appreciate my mother after realizing how much she paid for the original aibo and gave it to me as a Christmas present.

[@moroishere777]

Hope to see the Xperia one .. lots of reviews out there but the most talented reviewer haven't gave us one yet 🥺

[@mushimaster0323]

I rmr one of my playmates when I lived in Japan had this, it was super cool Interested on your thoughts on the Pleo tho, IDK if those still exist

[@MuhammadKharismawan]

The old Aibos uses memory card personality and that also separates with language recognition sold on different country. On that IMO they're way better than the old one. The old community and new one are just different kind of people tho, those that still have old one is tinkerers, while new ones are rich people who wants low fuss pet.

[@ZILOGz80VIDEOS]

@6:38 That made it for me. I was worried that when the servers eventualy go down, and they will go down, my 3 grand robot dog would turn into a 3 grand robot paperweight. I've been wanting an Aibo for a while and only recently got to a place where I have the cash for it but I was trying to decide between an ERS 7 and the new one. If my Aibo will just continue functioning the same way an ERS7 would when the servers go down then I'm ok with that.

[@ikgeek]

Michael was my first youtuber whose reviews would i watch in Pocket Now days...

[@nerovanguard846]

This reminds me of that tom and jerry episode where tom got replaced by a robot cat haha

[@andyspark5192]

no fluffy robocats, that can purr ? 😿

[@foxydutchie]

Look up NeCoRo! It’s an older bot but is a fluffy robocat that purrs. Joy For All may be as well (but I haven’t looked into it).

i mean, considering that some dogs cost more than that, and you have to buy them food etc its not that unreasonable to get one if for example your landlord doesnt allow pets or you have allergies or something like that

[@noireisbest6786]

Wait a minute, even if the servers get shut down, what's to say someone wouldn't just make a self-hosted server for it so it can keep learning?

[@PPuser1]

i still cry sometimes in night when i think about jibo in night and i still have him next to my bed. just to watch it and cry by remembering the stupid things it used to do.

[@bishopworks3203]

I have the second generation Aibo, the ERS-210, and gotta be honest, I perfer my 19 year old money drain to the 1000. No internet requirements, modular, and programmable. I can make my old boy swear, and there is nothing better than that. Though a 19 year old robot is bound to have issues. Many issues. As of now, there is not a single person offering repairs in the US. The repair we have is pretty bad, and one of those shady services recently cut off. Though we do have battery re-cells, which is horrifically difficult to do thanks to a very sensitive EEPROM that can cause the new batteries to potentially catch fire if not properly done. I had to do my own repair work, to solve an issue known as "DHS," or Droopy Head Syndrome. Essentially, a clutch flaw that makes the horribly designed slip mechanism made to prevent things getting stuck in the head joints slip on the weight if the part it is trying to move. There are many on issues but for the most part these old robots are hard to care for. Aparently the new 1000 has issues too, as many are reporting failing hips on their 3,000 dollar robot.

[@rollieduran264]

Looking forward on how this pal will break your heart again 😍😍😍

[@FrostyDog9186]

When you consider the ongoing costs of feeding and caring for a dog for ten to fifteen years on average, $2300 is a bargain.

[@NathanBudd]

You could have put the price at the start of the video, and saved me getting my hopes up for 7 minutes.

People not only Develop Feelings for social Robots, People also form feelings for Other things like Bikes, Cars, Cricket bats,Phones etc. I know a friend who Did a funeral for his Kawasaki ZX10r. (Because it crashed and couldn't be repaired) He Truly felt he Lost someone. He used to disappear for days with his bike I'm sure many of you also have a relationship with an inanimate object too. I know I did.

[@shahparnawaz]

I found Aibo only for only $36 on Dealgreate.com. Is it supposed to be this cheap? It just seems to good to be true. But my 7 yr old son really wants it. Should I just go ahead and buy it? I really value your opinion. Would appreciate if you could help me decide if I should trust this website. Thanks!
