Aibo learns a new trick with security upgrade

Announced earlier this year, Aibo’s first major software update just dropped,

bringing with it the ability to double as a (albeit nonthreatening) security dog.

The upgrade uses Aibo’s cameras to build maps of a user’s home à la the Roomba, to which they can then assign room names.

From there, Aibo will “patrol” the designated areas at set times of day, playing a “Puppy Patrol” melody when it’s time to jump into action.

From the sound of it, Aibo’s not going to be replacing smart home security features any time soon; instead, its main function is identifying up to 10 people and reporting back their positions via the app.
