His name is Nemic ... check out his first trick Aibone Trick

does it shit on the floor? i hate when they shit on the floor

thats the beauty of a robot no mess to clean up except for his toys

awesome :thumbsup

be interesting to see how it reacts with a real dog

The Aibo or the human? LOL

:1orglaugh

btw, you have the PERFECT nickname for this thread :1orglaugh :thumbsup

Sponsor's should give Aibo's as gifts and prizes. they're the perfect gift for someone who has just about everything.

I can't decide which one is more active..........

That's pretty cool man. I almost bought the first model AIBO Sony came out with but I decided against it.

(actually, my gf at the time told me I couldn't have one because I already didn't give her enough attention).

Anyway, do you like it? How hard is it to program? How much did you shell out for her?

very nice :thumbsup

programming the setup functions were easy, teaching him my voice, snap shot of my face, his name, my name, how to find the charge station, time, alarm, etc. everything else such as walking, chasing objects, tricks, are all self taught over time as you play with him he learns and you pet and praise him "good boy" or "good nemic" there's 100+ voice commands he knows.

it's $1599, after tax and shipping it's around $1700

does someone need a friend?

hehe, just teasing you, great toy!

Now, if you got a Real Doll as well, you could start a whole new niche.

aibos fucking real dolls?

thats damn disgusting , im going to have to steal your idea :winkwink:

I had one, pretty smart things they are...

Can they walk down by the stairs?

nope, can't do stairs. the Honda Asimo and the Sony Qrio can do stairs they're Humaniod robots they cost like $50k, not for direct public sale. The sony Qrio supposely will be available in a year or so, they're trying to get the price down.

New Videos =) i made

Nemic Dancing

Self Charging

do you spend 2k on a toy youll get sick about within a week?

and this robot, with the self charging, i 24/7 in action?

thats pretty kewl. no mess on the carpet that I like.

i saw one a couple years ago, they're pretty badass. a lot of work went into them. be fun to have one, but i'm not sure i could justify that price :)

I could see me putting out almost 2k and my 120lb akita deciding that the robot looks like a toy, or that it does not move fast enough and crushing it...


The only reason that my parrot survives in this house is because she bites back...


Hell, my dogs attack the vacuume cleaner everytime we turn it on.

nice but for 2k you could get a real dog and a house cleaner and still have spare change

i like electronic gadgets and computers so this was the perfect buy for myself. the whole idea of it having built in wifi and being able to write apps to make it do unique actions sold me on it.

Idea:
You should start a 'blog' of this dog showing the tricks and other shit it learns on a day to day basis and then try setting up a deal with a place that sells them so you can advertise them in your blog. Thats what I would do.. (would actually give me a reason to have the damn thing) :2 cents:

damn nice :thumbsup

fucking nice toy!!! :winkwink:
