AIBO

Sony's aibo ERS-1000 is a robot puppy with 22 moving parts and expressive OLED eyes. It learns habits from daily play, praise, and routine, so each unit can feel a little different over time.

The sale includes a three-year AI Cloud Plan that stores memories, powers the My aibo phone app, and delivers firmware updates. After those three years, renewing the cloud plan costs about $300 per year. Without an active plan, many smart features stop working.

It costs about $3,200 in the US and runs for roughly two hours per charge on its home dock. Sony does not sell or ship aibo to Illinois or Baltimore, Maryland. Sales are final with no returns.

aibo maps your home in a simple way you can view in the app. It is one of the most polished companion pets you can buy today, but the long-term cloud cost matters.
