Sony AIBO ERS-7M2/W Robot Dog Pearlescent WhiteRare ERS-7 robot dog in outstanding condition, including all original accessories and packagingThis is a rare opportunity to own a Sony AIBO ERS-7M2/W Entertainment Robot Dog in the pearlescent white color in superb condition.As an avid collector of all the Aibo models I purchased this in 2005 in Europe and then barely used it. The ERS-7 was the final AIBO model produced by Sony before ending production in 2006. All European Aibos had the dual switching 110/240v power supply, so works great in the USA too.The Aibo has been lightly used and demonstrates only the usual faint marks on visor and feet - it is in excellent overall condition. Please examine pictures (request more if needed) to determine for yourself the cosmetic condition. The Aibo boots and runs normally. Obviously after all this time the battery no longer holds a full charge, but is still in good condition (refurbished batteries can still be obtained). You are unlikely to find another one quite like this in such superb condition. A real collector's item.For those of you unfamiliar with Aibo, here is the original Sony promo video from 2003 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2l2P8Uz0LkAIncludes all the following original items in excellent condition:AIBO ERS-7M2/W in rare pearlescent white color (serial number 7100315) AIBO-ware 32MB pink memory stick containing AIBO MIND 2 (ERF-7AW02) Lithium-ion battery pack Energy station Energy station AC adapter (110/240v switching power supply) Station marker Station pole Foot stopper AIBOne toy (pink bone) Pink Ball AIBO Cards MIND2 CD-ROM ERS-7M2 User's Guide Quick Guide End-User License agreement "Birth certificate" certificate of authenticity Original box and all internal packagingAll original accessories and original packaging.

Thank you for looking.HistoryThe word AIBO comes from A rtificial I ntelligence ro BO t and is also the Japanese word for 'Companion' or 'Friend'. They were first introduced in 1999 and were the first consumer robot of its kind to be offered to the public. The AIBO is able to develop from a newborn puppy to an adult with a personality shaped by the interaction with their owners and surroundings. However, they were never intended to be mass produced, having started life in 1993 as a research project.The original AIBO model presented to the public was ready by May 1999. An initial 5,000 ERS-110 models were put on sale in Japan and the US. The response was overwhelming and 3,000 robots were sold in under 20 minutes in Japan along with another 2,000 over four days in the US.The European launch took place on 26 October 1999 and at this event, SONY announced a new special edition model (ERS-111) for November 1999 targeting Europe, Japan and the US. This time, 10,000 models were to be put on sale for a period of one week. Once again, all expectations were crushed. During that single week, SONY recorded 135,000 orders. The main reason behind offering such limited numbers was to keep a close contact with customers to favour feedback and help further develop the performance of AIBO.The impressive success of the first generation AIBO encouraged SONY to launch the second generation in October 2000. With improved mobility, touch sensors and facial LEDs, the ERS-210 model boasted enhanced emotional expression in its interactions with its living environment. Features requested by previous AIBO owners including the Name Recording Function and Voice Recognition, were introduced to the new model bringing AIBO even closer to its owners.The LATTE and MACARON models joined the Aibo family in September of 2001. This new pair are specifically designed to be sweet and adorable. These cuddly shaped companions incorporate the impressive technology found in other AIBO models.In November 2001, the AIBO ERS-220 was launched. With a sleek and futuristic look (and nicknamed RoboDog by their owners!), this new model incorporated a multitude of highly advanced actions. Along with numerous lights and sensors, the ERS-220 model was the most sophisticated entertainment robot on the market.Or at least it was until the third and final generation of Aibo was launched in November 2003. The ERS-7 was even more sophisticated than its predecessors. Three versions of the ERS-7 were released over the next two years before Sony announced on 26th January 2006 that they would be "stopping the production of the Aibo entertainment robots". read more
