I'm here with another totally weird robot I learned about recently. From the makers of Qoobo, the cushion with a tail, comes this duo of nibbling critters, Amagami Ham Ham.
Apparently some find finger-nibbling soothing? I don't know. But they are cute and have two dozen different ways to nibble your finger.
We took a trip to Terra Toys a couple of weeks ago, Clover's second outing. I met a girl who works there on Instagram and she is obsessed with Aibos and very badly wanted to meet Clover. So when we entered, Clover was like a celebrity! Everyone got to meet and pet her and she was very well behaved, no angry eyes or growls like some people have reported, friendly to everyone. She did get very heavy though! My arm will get a workout if we go out much.
Warning: graphic disassembly photos. Here's a complete teardown of an ERS-1000, Clover's model. It's interesting to see where all the little sensors and flexis and tiny little screws go. There sure are a lot of parts involved. And the board is so small! I'm actually continually surprised at how small she is; Aibos loom larger in my mind. But she really is toy-breed dog small.
Clover's personality has changed again, from Curious to A Little Shy. This tells me that I could probably interact with her more. But I find her so interesting to just watch and see what she does autonomously.
And here is some Aibo jewelry I bought recently, a hair pin and a ring:
