  • Repetitive work where staff can handle exceptions
What to check
  • Navigation around guests, children and temporary obstacles
  • Charging, cleaning and refilling requirements
  • Actual handoff behavior when the route is blocked
Not a magic solution
  • A substitute for hospitality and human judgment

About

Sony aibo is a robotic puppy from Sony that uses lifelike expressions and a dynamic range of movements to interact with people. It is positioned as a companion that grows each day, acquiring an identity shaped by its living environment and relationship with its owner. Key capabilities include responding to its name, listening to commands, performing tricks, recognizing household members, playing with toys, and returning to its charging station when tired. Owners can also interact through the My aibo App and an optional ai cloud plan.
