Description: Extremely rare limited edition Sony ERS-220 AIBO Entertainment Robot. Comes with battery and Aibo Explorer Software loaded on a pink memory stick. Missing: ball, charger, packaging, and the "antenna" on the head. The ERS-220 was released by Sony in November 2001. Due to their limited production numbers, it is considered to be one of the rarest AIBO models. Truly a collector’s item. Additional AIBO ERS-220 info from various internet sources: AIBO is the nickname given to the Sony entertainment robot. Developed to encourage human and robot interaction, AIBO introduces you to new pleasures and lifestyles. The name AIBO was coined from the words "A. I." (Artificial Intelligence), "eye", and "robot". In Japanese, the word "aibou" means "partner" or "pal". PROUCT OVERVIEW: · Voice Recognition, AIBO has a 75 voice commands, Recognizes its name and owner's name, Sensors · Acceleration sensor · Switches (head, face, legs, paws, tail) · Vibration sensor · Temperature sensor, Digital Photos, Take digital snapshots by voice command, Save as JPEG image to the Memory Stick, Motion Detection photography (*AIBO Explorer AIBO-ware required) DETAILS: · AIBO Explorer - this is Artificial Intelligence in its purest form, reinforcing the instinct to explore in your ERS-220. As it investigates its world the ERS-220 will emit pulsating lights and sounds. As it becomes more stimulated it may enter into Boost mode, the beam from the retractable headlight illuminating its path and its behaviours becoming more energetic. · The evolution of AIBO continues: a thinking machine with the ability to communicate with owners and other AIBOs. The ERS-220 can respond to 75 voice commands and will express itself through tonal and body language. It is capable of memorizing its owner's name and will learn and respond to its own name too. · Autonomous mode enables AIBO to make decisions about how it will behave. Curiosity and experience allow the ERS-220 to develop - the interactions with its environment building its character. 16 degrees of motion give the ERS-220 its freedom to move around and explore. · Through its onboard camera, AIBO can capture that unique image. The ERS-220's 100,000 pixel CMOS image sensor will take digital pictures on command. Each picture is instantly saved as a JPEG to the Memory Stick for later viewing on your PC: the ERS-220 will show you the world from its perspective. · Autonomous AIBO-ware gives AIBO its capabilities and character - it can be thought of as AIBO's mind. Artificial Intelligence allows the ERS-220 to continually learn and mature. These AIBO-ware Memory Sticks will bring the ERS-220's personality to life: the realm of the Entertainment Robot has entered a new domain. · You can also have absolute control of the ERS-220. By simply swapping the memory stick AIBO Navigator 2 (not included) will allow you to control and navigate the ERS-220 via a wireless LAN connection from a computer. Alternatively, using AIBO Master Studio 1.1 (not included), you can create original behaviors and actions for the ERS-220 and then action them using either "Memory Stick" or Wireless LAN capability. You can even create actions in AIBO Master Studio and then import them to AIBO Navigator. The future of entertainment is here! Released shortly after the ERS-311 and ERS-312 on 11/8/2001, the ERS-220 aimed to embrace robotic and mechanical design. The ERS-220 model began preorder on July 1st in the US and EU The hardware of the ERS-220 is identical to the ERS-210 with the exclusion of four degrees of freedom (no moving "tail" module or articulated ears). A variety of LEDs were added that were not present on the ERS-210.
