Dogs… man's first BFF. We can never get enough of these furry companions. Irrespective of whether you are a canine lover or no, we're all guilty of posing with them to jazz up our social media feed. They are our best wingmen; always help us win brownie points in the romance department. Just one hug is enough to melt away your rough day. A lick is a symbol of universal fondness. They are the only ones who we like to accept sloppy kisses from (sorry grandma).
Boop!
Japan has always been leading in tech. They are way ahead of the rest of the earth by decades in technological and disciplinary advancement. One such company born out of Japanese soil is SONY.
SONY is most popular among GEN-Y and GEN-Z for their legendary gaming console- The Playstation.
GEN-X remembers SONY fondly with the world's first-ever portable music listening device- The Walkman.
SONY was one of the pioneers in tech innovation and has become one of the most underrated giants in current times.
The SONY Aibo can change everything.
It is an absolute marvel in terms of AI development. Still vastly underrated, but an incredible feat in my opinion.
What is SONY Aibo?
Aibo is an AI-powered robotic dog. Its appearance is adorable as you would expect a pup to be. Enabled with voice recognition, this metal canine is your perfect partner.
Aibo recognizes your speech to perform actions such as 'sit', 'stand', 'layover' and also the classic, 'gimme a paw'.
Provided with a fetch toy, Aibo uses a sensory mechanism to fetch the toy when told to do so. A built-in camera near his tail helps Aibo. (Aibo is a really good tail-wagger too!)
You can also order Aibo to 'go to the charging station'. It is the robotic equivalent of nap time.
With the voice bark of an angel, the best part of a Robo-bark is that it can be silenced at will.
The benefits of Aibo are endless. It's an immortal pup, with exceptional hygiene and discipline (Hello Japan!) without compromising lifelike puppy movements and cuddles.
You don't have to spend time training Aibo, nor do you have to feed him.
No food obviously means no 'accidents' on the floor as well. Even if Aibo did excrete, the feces would probably be AA sized batteries anyway. Ah, benefits! (Just kidding.)
Aibo is not soft or fuzzy, just cold metal. However, this means no hair on the couch or clothes. Allergic to pets? Fret not, Aibo to the rescue! Taking hypoallergenic needs to the next level. LEVEL UP!
A great emotional support tool for innumerable patients without hampering the safety of the animal.
Aibo has the capacity to replace living pets.
This reminds me of the plot of a Dreamworks feature- 'Boss Baby'.
SPOILER ALERT!
In the movie, 'Baby Corp's' sales are on a decline as more people prefer pups than babies. The whole movie is a battle between 'Baby Corp' and 'Puppy Co.'.
(Puppy Co. manufactures puppies btw. 'Baby Corp' manufactures babies. Just go with it. I didn't write the plot.)
'Puppy Co.' had decided to launch its new product- 'The Forever Puppy' a pup that never grows.
Aibo is the 'Forever Puppy'.
Woof?
PS. The whole point of the succulent is that I want a Sony Aibo. If you’re feeling generous, feel free to get in touch with me.
Woof?
