Follow me aibo

aibo will come closer to you and follow you around.
Even if you move, aibo will adjust its direction to stay close to you.
Stand in front of aibo and say, "follow me" to get started.

Note:
When using this feature, aibo prioritizes following you over avoiding obstacles.
Ensure there are no objects in the path that aibo will follow.

How to play

  1. Stand in front of aibo so it can see your legs and say, "follow me."
    (Try calling it from about 1 meter away.)
  2. After barking twice, aibo will happily run toward you.
  3. Start walking away from aibo slowly.
    aibo will walk toward you while keeping a certain distance.
  4. Try moving sideways.
    aibo will adjust its direction and follow you.
  5. If aibo cannot see your legs for a certain period of time, it might give up on following you.

  • If aibo is not facing your direction, try saying, "show me your face"
  • Speak while standing directly in front of aibo.

  • If the distance between you and aibo exceeds about 2 meters, aibo may stop following you.
