- ERS-311
ERS-312 - This model provided a new look for AIBO with its charming design. When programmed with its dedicated software, the ivory-colored "LATTE." would take on an "obedient and gentle" personality, while the gray-colored "MACRARON" model would behave in a "playful and mischievous" manner. These characteristics would evolve according to the AIBO's interactions and environment.
