Can I Teach aibo Tricks Without the My aibo App?

    Yes. You can teach your aibo™ robotic companion new tricks without using the My aibo app. 

    1. Say “Learn this” to aibo.
      • aibo sits down and raises both of its front paws.

        Sit down

    2. Take one or both of the front paws and gently push the paw pad(s).
      • aibo makes a sound and the paws that you're pushing will relax.
    3. Move the front paw(s) while you keep pushing the paw pad(s).
      • You can move both of the front paws simultaneously or each one separately. aibo can memorize a routine of movements for a maximum of 15 seconds after you pushed the paw pad(s).

    4. After you're done with the movements, release aibo's paws.
      • aibo will make a sound.
    5. Say "Show it to me" and aibo will perform the trick.
    6. If you want aibo to remember a movement, wait until aibo sits down and tilts its head and then tell aibo "Don't forget" 
      • The routine of movements that you taught aibo will appear in the list of tricks in the My aibo App.
      • New tricks appear on the list as "Show me your new trick". You can rename the trick name in the app to resemble the movements.

    Note: aibo can memorize up to 30 tricks. If you try to teach more than 30 tricks, aibo will shake its head to indicate that it can't memorize any more.
