According to Sony's official website and Nikkei Tech On, the ERS-1000 uses artificial intelligence (AI) to develop 'deep learning' and 'advanced learning' programs jointly developed by Sony and Cogitai, a well- Continuous learning 'technology.Ethinking performance of the ERS-1000, part of the edge computing (Edge Computing), learning growth performance is carried out in the cloud.
The AI operation of ERS-1000 is based on aibo itself detecting the user's actions or mood changes, connecting the collected data to the cloud, and then responding. The cloud platform is established due to the user environment, even if the aibo hardware fails or Need to be replaced, still can save the data and then re-applied.
In order to demonstrate the self-discipline and alertness of the ERS-1000, aibo's neck, ears, hand, foot and other joints are equipped with an ultra-compact 1-axis and 2-axis actuators developed by Sony and 6-axis detection system , 3-axis acceleration sensor), the body of a total of 22-axis, 20 axis than the initial aibo action more smoothly, like the real dogs generally shake the waist and neck.The processor is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 (APQ8096) The drive uses a dedicated motion controller.
The ERS-1000 is equipped with a microphone, touch sensor, image sensor to detect distance ToF, PSD position sensor, etc. The eye uses an OLED panel to clearly show facial expression changes. Simianous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) camera. These devices are applied Sony's deep learning technology to identify, weekly Oriental Economic Report, ERS-1000 can recognize up to 20 faces.
Sony said that the ERS-1000's target audience is 40 to 50 years of age, as well as children, elderly, embedded SIM card, to maintain normal networking, and to collect and transmit user-related data to the cloud, if the self-detection When the power is low, it can automatically go to a dedicated charging station to charge, even if the network can not be connected, but also to maintain the communication function. ERS-1000 is not only entertainment with electronic pets, but also take care of children and elderly.
The ERS-1000 will also be used in the future for the Internet of Things (IoT), and it is currently determined to use Amazon's AWS and use 'AWS Greengrass' to synchronize with the device. However, how much aibo for entertainment can be achieved The synchronization, still need to observe, so there is no synchronization function at the beginning of listing.
In addition, Sony is also opening up the outside world to participate in the design and style of the ERS-1000 and to include applications developed by other companies. The cost portion of the ERS-1000 is 20% lower than the price of the original aibo for 198,000 yen There are two options for the net fee, one of which is 90,000 yen for 3 years and the other for 2,980 yen per month, tied for 36 months.
Sony has not publicly stated sales targets, but based on the initial aibo shipments of 150,000 records, aibo should be based on this figure.Sony said that let aibo re-listed one of the considerations is the time is ripe, the outside world will also aibo As a symbol of embarking on a return to glory.However, the face of the current hardware and software manufacturers have introduced AI applications, the next generation aibo can show characteristics, triggering the desire of consumers to buy, as PlayStation series games to regain market attention The product, still to be seen after the listing of the outcome
