Robot to take a picture – by voice command or 
by showing the appropriate AIBO card
You can have the AIBO robot take a picture by giving it a voice 
command or showing it the appropriate AIBO card.
For example, you can have the AIBO robot take a picture of 
your child and send it to your mother’s PC or mobile 
communication device.*
* JPEG e-mail viewing capability is required.
1
Say “Take a picture” to the AIBO robot.
Or, show the AIBO robot the “Photo (B)” card.
2
Touch the head sensor.
Or say, “Snap Shot”
.
The AIBO robot starts to count down and takes a 
picture when the shutter clicks.
You cannot specify the AIBO robot’s head angle when 
using a voice command to take a picture. 
3
Say “Send e-mail” to the AIBO robot.
The AIBO robot will send the picture to the registered 
user specified in the “Sending pictures by Voice 
Command and in House Sitting Mode” (page 25) field 
of the “Mail Setup” screen.
Regardless of the method used to initiate the photo 
command (whether it is AIBO MAIL or voice 
command), the last picture taken by the AIBO robot 
will be sent to the registered user specified in “Mail 
Setup”.
Taking periodic pictures at a set 
interval with the [WATCH 
command]
The AIBO robot can take periodic pictures at a specified 
interval, and e-mail them back as JPEG attachments.
Set the interval in 10-minute increments, starting at a 
minimum of 10 minutes. (Minute units will be rounded up to 
the nearest 10th. For example, 15 minutes will be rounded 
up to 20 minutes.) The maximum you can set is 50 minutes.
Caution
If the AIBO robot is in the middle of checking the e-mail server or 
is in motion, there may be a slight delay in the timing of the 
scheduled picture taking.
Periodic picture commands can be given through either the 
user settings (conf
igured with your Web browser; see page 
28), or included in the AIBO MAIL command.
