The User’s Guide provides an overview of AIBO Master Studio: installation, setup and other information required to operate AIBO, and information on the use of the programs that make up AIBO Master Studio.

Note

The illustrations and images in these manuals are mostly of AIBO ERS-210, with some of the AIBO ERS-220 and ERS-310 series.

About the Online Manuals

The Tutorial Guide and the User’s Guide are also available online as PDF files. To view these files, see page 4 of the User’s Guide.

Getting prepared

Have you finished installing AIBO Master Studio and the “Memory Stick”? If you will be using a wireless LAN, you must set it up in advance. If you have not done the preparations, please refer to “Preparation” on page 17 of the User’s Guide.

Organization of the Tutorial Guide

This Tutorial Guide is divided into the following two parts.

Let’s Create Behaviors!

This part teaches you how to create programs with Quick Behavior Arranger and Behavior Arranger.

x Beginner’s Course

In Lesson 1 and 2, you will use Quick Behavior Arranger to create a program through the use of wizards. In Lesson 3, you’ll learn the basic operations of Behavior Arranger.

Lesson 1 Touch AIBO’s Sensor to Make AIBO Stand, Sit and Lie Down

Using Quick Behavior Arranger, you’ll create a program in just a few simple steps that will make AIBO perform a series of specific actions!

Lesson 2 Press AIBO’s Head and It Sits; Say ”Start” and It Walks

Using Quick Behavior Arranger, you’ll create a program that will make AIBO perform different actions when you touch its sensors or say something to it. Since you’ll be using wizards, it will be easy!

Lesson 3 Walking and Bowing

In this lesson, you’ll learn how to use Behavior Arranger to create a basic program and how to execute the program via a wireless LAN.

x Intermediate Course

This course is for users who understand basic Behavior Arranger operations. By creating programs that make use of voice recognition or unique actions, you’ll learn how to set branch conditions, create groups, and use parameters.

Lesson 4 Make AIBO Bow when You Press Its Head

In this lesson, you’ll edit the program that you made in Lesson 3 to create a program using branch boxes and sensor information. You will also learn how to loop the program so that it executes repeatedly.

Lesson 5 Make AIBO Bow and Greet Your Guests when You Call Out to It

In this lesson, you’ll learn how to create groups, use AIBO’s voice recognition function, and embed actions made with Action Composer. This sounds a little complicated, but you’ll learn how to do all of this step by step!

x Advanced Course

By mastering the advanced techniques, you’ll be able to create programs that allow AIBO to function as a pet or in games!

Lesson 6 Executing Several Actions Simultaneously

You’ll learn how to program AIBO like a real robot in order to execute several commands at once. You’ll create a program in which AIBO changes its walking direction from forward to backward in response to sensory information.

Lesson 7 Mastering Advanced Techniques

This lesson introduces advanced techniques for creating programs with Behavior Arranger. You’ll learn programming methods by following a description of a program where AIBO searches for and plays with the pink ball.

Let’s Create Actions!

In this section, you’ll learn how to use Action Composer to create an action library, action files and elements used with Behavior Arranger.

x Beginner’s Course

You’ll learn the basics of Action Composer operations by using and combining supplied elements.

Lesson 1 Creating an Action Library

In this lesson, you’ll learn how to combine the supplied files to create action files and an action library for use with Behavior Arranger.

Lesson 2 Previewing the Created Action

In this lesson, you’ll preview the action file that you created by viewing it on the PC or by having AIBO actually perform the action. When creating an action, it’s important to verify the sounds and actions with your own eyes and ears!

Lesson 3 Editing Elements

You’ll learn how to edit elements and action files by modifying the supplied action files.

x Intermediate Course

This course introduces you to the creation of elements.

Lesson 4 Creating Original Elements

You’ll learn how to create elements from scratch. Once you’ve mastered these techniques, you will be a proficient AIBO content creator!

Lesson 5 Lighting Up LEDs to Music

This lesson takes you further by allowing you to synchronize elements. For instance, have fun by synchronizing AIBO’s winks and mouth movements with the sounds that it makes, or its dance movements with music.

x Advanced Course

In this course, you’ll learn techniques for creating actions with greater effectiveness and higher efficiency.

Lesson 6 Tips on Creating Actions

In this lesson, you’ll polish your skills by creating original actions. Tips are presented on how to further enhance the presentation of your AIBO programs.

Press its head* t sit Say “Go forward” t walks 50cm Say “Left leg Kick” t kicks Say “Lie down” t lies Show AIBO the pink ball t stands

With the above procedure, you can program AIBO to perform different actions by sensory input or voice command.

Now you have mastered using Quick Behavior Arranger! In the next lesson, you will make another program to learn the basic operations of Behavior Arranger.

See “Running the program on AIBO” in Lesson 1 (page 17).

* For details on settings, see page

19.

AIBO will not hear your voice while it is making a sound. It is also difficult for AIBO to hear voices when it is moving.

Lesson 3 Beginner’s Course

Walk and Bow

GOAL: To learn the following two things.

• Basic Behavior Arranger* operations and how to create a program that causes AIBO to do a sequence of actions.

• Using a wireless LAN

Overview of the Program: When AIBO is activated, it stands up, walks 10 cm (4 inches) and bows.

* Behavior Arranger is a tool for

programming AIBO actions by stringing together boxes containing commands. For details, see page 29 of the User’s Guide.

End

Getting ready

• Prepare the “Memory Stick” that you used in Lesson 1 and 2.

• If you use a wireless LAN, set it up in advance. For details, see page 23 of the User’s Guide.

**For details on action boxes, see

page 32 of the User’s Guide.

A wireless LAN cannot be used with Quick Behavior Arranger.

If you started this tutorial from Lesson 3, copy the relevant system files for your AIBO’s model to the “Memory Stick.”

Lesson 3 Beginner’s Course

Creating a new behavior

In this lesson, you’ll create a new behavior from scratch, and then use the behavior to create a program.

1 Click the Start button in Windows, select

Programs-AIBO Master Studio and click Behavior Arranger.

Behavior Arranger starts up and an editing window appears.

2 From the menu, select File-New.

A window for selecting the AIBO model appears.

3 Select the AIBO model to be used.

The START and END terminal boxes* appear in the window.

The model name that you selected appears here.

This selection is for creating a new behavior.

For details about the meaning of “(E),” see page 12.

* For details on terminal boxes, see

page 33 of the User’s Guide.

Lesson 3 Beginner’s Course

Making action boxes

Commands are entered in action boxes. First you’ll make a “stand” action box, and then a “walk and bow” action box.

Making a “stand” action box

1 Click the Action box button .

2 Click between the START and END terminal

boxes in the window.

The Action box appears where you clicked. The Action Properties dialog box is what you use to define commands.

3 Type a name and comment for the action box.

Comment: Make AIBO stand up.Name: Stand

To make AIBO walk, it must first be in a standing position. For this reason, you’ll make a “stand” action box.

The name that you specified in the Name box will be displayed in the action box. (If you enter a name over 7 letters, it will be shortened) It is best to add a comment if the contents are not clearly understood by the name of the action box.

Lesson 3 Beginner’s Course

4 Define a command to play back the supplied

“STAND” system action.

Sub: ACTION (system action)

Main: PLAY (action)

Name: STAND

5 Click Add to enter the command.

The “PLAY ACTION STAND” command defined in the previous step appears at the bottom.

6 Next, define the following command and click

Add.

Main Time#[ms] WAIT (blank)

The “WAIT” command appears at the bottom.

System actions are actions that are provided in AIBO Master Studio.

Selecting PLAY-ACTION allows you to select a system action.

To change the command after clicking the Add button, select the command in the bottom window and enter another one.

Now you’ve defined a “stand” action.

AIBO sometimes executes several commands simultaneously. As a result, some of the commands are canceled mid-way or AIBO executes an unexpected action. If you want AIBO to postpone executing the next command until the previous one has completed, then make sure the Time#[ms] box of the WAIT command is blank. A blank box is the same as a “0” setting, which in programming means “do not execute the next command until the previous one has completed.” It does not mean “wait 0 second” (a zero-second waiting time in programming is the same as immediate execution).

The above command causes the program to wait until AIBO finishes the PLAY-ACTION-STAND (stand) command defined in steps 4 and 5. This means that the next command is not executed until AIBO has finished standing up.

Lesson 3 Beginner’s Course

7 Click OK.

The Action Properties dialog box closes and a STAND action box appears between the START and END terminal boxes in the window.

The box name specified in step 4

The STAND action box has now been completed!

Making a “walk and bow” action box

Let’s make another action box.

1 Click the END terminal box and drag it

downward.

To make more space for another action box between a STAND action box and the END terminal box, move the END terminal box downward.

Lesson 3 Beginner’s Course

2 Click , and click between the STAND action

box and the END terminal box in the window.

The Action Properties dialog box appears.

3 Enter a name and a comment for the action

box.

Name: WALK_BOW Comment: Walks 10cm and bows.

4 Define a command for walking straight for

10 cm and click Add.

Main Sub Name arg1 arg2 PLAY ACTION WALK 0 100

This commands causes AIBO to walk for 100 mm at the angle of 0° (straight forward).

5 Enter a WAIT command and click Add.

Main Time#[ms] WAIT blank

This command causes AIBO postpone executing the next command until it has finished walking 10 cm.

6 Define a command for bowing the head

(straight downward at an angle of –50°) and click Add.

Main Sub Name arg1 arg2 PLAY ACTION MOVE_HEAD 0 –50*

7 As in step 5, enter a WAIT command so AIBO

does not execute the next command until it finishes lowering its head.

8 Define a command for resetting the head to its

original position, and then click Add.

Main Sub Name arg1 arg2 PLAY ACTION MOVE_HEAD 0 0

* Fifty is not included in the list, so

type the number into the box.

This command causes AIBO to move its head at the horizontal angle of 0° and a vertical angle of –50°; i.e., AIBO lowers its head 50°.

This command causes AIBO to move its head at a horizontal angle of 0° and a vertical angle of 0°; i.e., it returns its head back to the original position.

Lesson 3 Beginner’s Course

9 As in step 5, specify a WAIT command so that

AIBO does not execute the next command until it finishes raising its head.

10 Click OK.

The “walk for 10 cm and bow” action box has been completed.

Both action boxes are completed.

Connecting action boxes

You have used system actions for lowering and raising AIBO’s head and making AIBO bow. You could have also have made AIBO bow by creating the action and applying it with Action Composer.

Let’s connect all the action boxes to make it a series of actions consisting of stand, walk 10 cm, and bow.

1 Click the Link mode button .

The mouse changes to link mode.

By connecting the boxes containing commands with lines, you link them as a series of consecutive actions.

Till now, you have used the mouse in Normal mode. For connecting boxes, you change the mouse to Link mode. At all other times, it should be kept in Normal mode.

Lesson 3 Beginner’s Course

2 Click the START terminal box and drag it

toward the STAND action box.

The two boxes are connected with a line.

3 Connect the STAND and WALK_BOW boxes, as

in step 2.

4 Connect the WALK_BOW and END boxes.

All the boxes are now connected and have become a series of consecutive actions.

In Lesson 3, you created 2 boxes, but the same program can be made by placing all the commands into one action box.

Lesson 3 Beginner’s Course

Saving the program and running it on AIBO

Save the program you’ve created to the hard disk and then save it to the “Memory Stick”. Afterwards, run the program on AIBO.

1 From the menu, select “File- Save As.”

Save the file as “Lesson3.be”.

2 Insert the “Memory Stick” into the “Memory

Stick” drive.

3 From the menu, select “File-Save to the

Memory Stick.”

When the saving process is finished, a confirmation dialog box appears. Click OK. Insert the “Memory Stick” containing the program and start up AIBO. The program will run and AIBO will stand up. To execute the program again, restart AIBO.

Using a wireless LAN

Saving the program to the hard disk is convenient since it allows you to use the program again when creating other behaviors.

If you do not use a wireless LAN, then this completes Lesson 3.

If you use a wireless LAN, you can wireless transfer the program from the PC to AIBO for execution.

1 Insert the “Memory Stick” into AIBO, start up

AIBO and place it within communication distance of the PC.

By using a wireless LAN, you can execute the program you created in Lesson 3 repeatedly without having to restart AIBO. Moreover, whenever you create or modify a program, you can upload the results to the “Memory Stick” from the PC, even while it is inserted in AIBO.
