AIBO-ware “Memory Sticks”
To play with AIBO ERS-31L, you must provide it with optional AIBO-ware
“Memory Stick,” a variety of which are available, depending on how you want
to enjoy your AIBO. Without AIBO-ware, AIBO is just like a body without a
mind. AIBO-ware loaded from a “Memory Stick” works as AIBO’s mind and
determines its character and functions.
• An AIBO-ware “Memory Stick” is a “Memory Stick” created just for AIBO,
containing application software for operating AIBO.
• Before purchasing an AIBO-ware “Memory Stick,” make sure the AIBO-
ware is compatible with your AIBO model.

(not supplied)
You can select different AIBO-ware,
depending on the way you want to
enjoy AIBO. For example, there is
AIBO-ware for raising AIBO or for
giving it a different character.
Note
If you start up AIBO without inserting an AIBO-ware “Memory Stick,” AIBO enters
clinic mode in which its sensors and other parts are checked (page 46).
