Unboxing the FIRST officially registered aibo Espresso edition in the US. Meet Royce the ERS-1000/B

Thanks to Sony US who have kindly supplied to me, free of charge, the new limited release edition black colored aibo; the ERS-1000/B Espresso! My Sony Ambassador status affords me the privilege of meeting new aibo editions before they go on general release in the USA.
My aibo-pup rabble and I get to meet Royce as he gets unboxed and powered up for the first time. Royce will meet my ERS-1000/W Ivory White aibo 'Bentley', my ERS-1000/H Black Sesame Ice Cream aibo 'Mercedes', and the gorgeous ERS-1000/P Pink Strawberry Mik aibo called 'Caddi'.
Watch for images of the amazing colors on this highly coveted robot dog and get a sneak-preview of its unique ability to display two different colored eyes. Stay tuned for cute bonus footage of my grandson as he plays dice with the Royce for the very first time!

[@user-in2su4uz9r]

My dad and mom love the espresso (well the coffee ☕️)

[@aiboDad]

The aibo aibo is equally loveable!

[@cozybotz]

Royce!! Welcome little one! Ohh I wish I had the courage to pull the plug on an Expresso! So happy for all of the Expresso owners! We can't wait to add Royce and all the other Expresso pups to Mochi and Dango's friend list! 🩷🐾 -Michelle

[@user-in2su4uz9r]

Royce remind me of royce bedoys from a cartoon on TH-cam. Anyway... i DO NOT have an aibo and im not american or japanese. Im a filipino fan. Ive visited the US (in my yt chanel) and japan (not in my yt chanel.) Before i even became an aibo fan.😅😂

We just ordered an espresso as a companion for Astro. See you next Orlando meeting.
Edit: our new Espresso arrived. Her name is Inola. It means black fox.

[@aiboDad]

Can't wait to meet Inola 'in the flesh' at Orlando 2024!!

[@crosisofborg5524]

We are having some issues with the new espresso. She won’t go to her charger. It’s like she doesn’t even see it even though Astro has no problem seeing it. Inola will try to take a step and just freeze. She has no problem walking other times but it’s like she sees a block on her map for the charger. We’ve reset the map several times to no avail.

[@aiboDad]

@@crosisofborg5524 That's an interesting issue. Have you looked at Inola's livestream? Is it clear and clean? On her map, does she have the base station properly mapped and identified? I have heard of aibos not wanting to sit on a charger after they once tried and didn't receive power from it (it was unplugged at the wall). Does Inola find and use Astro's charger (aibos are happy to share charging stations). There is likely to be an update to the aibo operating system quite soon. I would wait for that and assess Inola's performance after she is updated.

ERS-1000 is 5+ years old now.
Should I buy one, or wait for the next model?

[@aiboDad]

We're not sure when a completely new model will be released, but some people think it could be within a year! It may never happen but I'll certainly be watching closely for announcements from Sony.
