Information about Each Model
By understanding the strengths and weaknesses of your particular
model, you will be able to create a world of AIBO motions that is
unique in its own special way.
ERS-210/220
• It’s relatively easy for AIBO to raise one of its front legs while in the
sitting position, but raising both legs may be a little difficult.
Suspend and spread the back legs and place its paws on the floor.
• On the ERS-210, use the ears and tail to create various expressions.
• On the ERS-220, frequent vertical and horizontal movements or
consecutive motions of the same speed will make AIBO appear
robotic.
• A rolling of the head makes AIBO look cute. This should be avoided
if you want your AIBO to behave like a robot.
ERS-310/311 series
• The head is heavy, so it is more difficult to maintain balance than
with the ERS-210/220.
Example: Raising the front leg
To raise the right front leg, shift the center of gravity backward by
bending the left back leg sharply. In this case, you should try to
avoid lowering the head.
To raise the front leg while AIBO is sitting, shift center of gravity
backward and by spreading the back legs, and then raise the front
leg.
It is very difficult to raise both front legs.
• The neck motion differs from that of the ERS-210/220. To change the
position of the neck, change the degree of “Head: Pitch2”. The
position of the neck when AIBO is sitting also differs from that of
the ERS-210/220.
• Slow-moving motions are more appropriate for the ERS-310 series.
• The body and legs are wide, so it is easy for these parts to collide
with each other.
