The later stages
x Childhood
In this stage, AIBO is a mischievous child,
playing a lot and learning a lot.
AIBO’s character begins to develop; for
example, it might become a sociable AIBO that
enjoys playing with you, or an AIBO that enjoys
whiling the time away doing things on its own.
x Adolescence
This is a very active stage in which AIBO
develops its own characteristics through
communication with you.
Brimming with vitality and vigor, AIBO begins
striking out on its own.
