OVERVIEW

The Sony aibo ERS-110 is the first commercial AIBO robotic dog, designed for autonomous entertainment, learning, emotional behaviour, motion programming, and robotics collecting.

Released in 1999 as a limited Internet-only edition, it used 18 degrees of freedom, a 180,000-pixel colour CCD camera, stereo microphones, infrared distance sensing, touch, acceleration, angular-velocity, and temperature sensors.

The approximately 1.6 kg robot operated for about 1.5 hours and originally included two batteries, a charging station, Sound Commander, Memory Stick, ball, and accessories.

As the first commercial AIBO, the ERS-110 is primarily significant as a robotics collectible and historical consumer platform, with value and usability closely tied to originality, completeness, battery health, and working software.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does the Sony aibo ERS-110 cost? +

The Sony aibo ERS-110 price was US$2,500 in the United States and 250,000 yen in Japan at its 1999 launch, but it now has no official retail price. Collector-market value depends on authenticity, cosmetic condition, original packaging, station, two batteries, Sound Commander, Memory Stick, software, ball and repair history. A displayed figure is not always the final delivered and usable cost. Buyers may also need to account for shipping, taxes, customs duties, batteries, controllers, payloads, software, subscriptions, installation, training, warranty, spare parts, local support and application integration.

Before comparing offers, confirm the exact model or condition, commercial status, included hardware, software rights, delivery terms and after-sales process. The better buying question is: what is included, what is excluded, and who supports the robot after delivery?

You can request Sony aibo ERS-110 pricing, availability or a package review through Anton Robots before committing.

Where can I buy the Sony aibo ERS-110? +

You can request verified collector sourcing for the Sony aibo ERS-110 through Anton Robots. Anton Robots helps buyers verify the real commercial route, compare legitimate packages, understand what is included and decide whether the Sony aibo ERS-110 is appropriate for the intended use case. The ERS-110 was a limited 1999 model with 3,000 units allocated to Japan and 2,000 to the United States and is now available only second hand.

Before buying, commissioning or importing a unit, confirm the exact version, regional availability, included hardware, software access, shipping, taxes, warranty, spare parts and technical support. A product page, historical launch announcement or secondary-market listing does not always mean that a robot is available for immediate supported purchase in every country. Professional buyers should compare the complete operational package and support route rather than only the lowest displayed price.

To start, request Sony aibo ERS-110 buying or sourcing guidance through Anton Robots.

Where can I find a Sony aibo ERS-110 for sale? +

You may find a Sony aibo ERS-110 for sale through specialist collectors, auctions, museums and secondary marketplaces. Finding a Sony aibo ERS-110 for sale is only the first step. Buyers should verify whether the offer is current, new, used, refurbished, backordered, programme-limited, unsupported outside its original region or missing essential accessories. Confirm serial number, body authenticity, original software, station, batteries, Sound Commander, Memory Stick, camera, joints and any restoration work.

A useful comparison should cover the exact generation, included equipment, software access, delivery country, expected lead time, warranty, replacement parts and who provides support after delivery. Avoid treating a third-party listing as proof of manufacturer support or legal access to proprietary software.

If you are looking for a Sony aibo ERS-110 and want help checking the offer, contact Anton Robots. We can also compare it with other robots in the same category.

Can I get a quote for the Sony aibo ERS-110? +

There is no current Sony quote, but you can request an ERS-110 collector-unit review through Anton Robots. A useful quote or commercial review should identify the exact version, ownership or programme structure, included equipment, software, accessories, shipping assumptions, taxes or import notes, warranty, delivery estimate, training and available support. The review should identify completeness, provenance, cosmetic grade, battery rebuilds, functional status, accessories, packaging, repairs and return protection.

Buyers should provide the destination country, intended application, operating environment, required delivery date and any integration needs. That information helps determine whether the robot is commercially obtainable and whether the proposed package is technically suitable. The proposal should also state who commissions the system and what happens if the robot cannot meet the intended workflow.

Anton Robots can help compare the Sony aibo ERS-110 against other relevant robots.

What is included when you buy the Sony aibo ERS-110? +

A typical Sony aibo ERS-110 package originally included the ERS-110 robot, station, AC adapter, two lithium-ion batteries, Sound Commander, 8 MB Memory Stick, coloured ball and accessories. The exact contents vary by seller, programme, configuration, product condition and country, so buyers should request a written packing and service list:

  • Sony aibo ERS-110 robot
  • Original charging station and AC adapter
  • Two ERA-110B lithium-ion batteries
  • Sound Commander remote control
  • Original 8 MB program Memory Stick
  • Coloured ball and documentation
  • AIBO Performer Kit if separately included
  • Provenance, condition report and protective packaging

Collector listings frequently omit one or more rare accessories, and non-working batteries can prevent a meaningful functional test. Hardware, software and support are often separated in robotics purchases. A low advertised price may exclude the charger, controller, compute, payload, spare battery, installation, training or warranty handling required for practical use. For business, education, research and collector buyers, the complete operational package is more important than the headline price.

You can request an itemised Sony aibo ERS-110 offer or availability review through Anton Robots before committing.

How many Sony aibo ERS-110 robots were made? +

Sony allocated 5,000 ERS-110 units at launch. The 1999 release assigned 3,000 robots to Japan and 2,000 to the United States through Internet-only sales. The practical result depends on the exact configuration, software, environment, accessories and operator workflow rather than the headline specification alone. Production allocation does not prove how many complete working examples survive or whether a seller’s robot is an authentic ERS-110 rather than ERS-111.

Before buying or deploying the robot, verify model label, serial number, body colour, documentation, packaging, accessories, provenance and repair history. A proper evaluation should use the real tasks, routes, objects, users or operating conditions instead of relying only on a promotional video. Authenticity and completeness drive collector value.

You can request Sony aibo ERS-110 application advice through Anton Robots and compare the complete package or a more suitable alternative.

What was the original Sony aibo ERS-110 price? +

The ERS-110 launched at 250,000 yen in Japan and US$2,500 in the United States. The set included the robot, station, AC adapter, two batteries, Sound Commander, program Memory Stick, coloured ball and other accessories. The practical result depends on the exact configuration, software, environment, accessories and operator workflow rather than the headline specification alone. Historical retail price does not determine today’s collector value, which varies with rarity, condition and functionality.

Before buying or deploying the robot, verify comparable complete sales, battery condition, station, software, packaging, cosmetic grade, repairs and buyer protection. A proper evaluation should use the real tasks, routes, objects, users or operating conditions instead of relying only on a promotional video. Value the exact unit rather than applying a generic AIBO price.

You can request Sony aibo ERS-110 application advice through Anton Robots and compare the complete package or a more suitable alternative.

What are the main specifications of the Sony aibo ERS-110? +

The ERS-110 has 18 degrees of freedom and weighs about 1.6 kg with battery and Memory Stick. It uses a 64-bit RISC processor, 16 MB main memory, 180,000-pixel colour CCD camera, stereo microphones and multiple touch, motion, distance and temperature sensors. The practical result depends on the exact configuration, software, environment, accessories and operator workflow rather than the headline specification alone. Early specifications do not guarantee that a 27-year-old unit remains calibrated or mechanically healthy.

Before buying or deploying the robot, verify all 18 joints, camera, microphones, speaker, touch, infrared sensor, gyro, accelerometer, temperature sensors and software boot. A proper evaluation should use the real tasks, routes, objects, users or operating conditions instead of relying only on a promotional video. A full diagnostic is essential before purchase.

You can request Sony aibo ERS-110 application advice through Anton Robots and compare the complete package or a more suitable alternative.

How long does the Sony aibo ERS-110 battery last? +

Sony originally specified approximately 1.5 hours of autonomous operation on a fully charged ERA-110B battery. The original package included two lithium-ion battery packs to extend play through manual changes. The practical result depends on the exact configuration, software, environment, accessories and operator workflow rather than the headline specification alone. Original batteries are now extremely old and may have low capacity, swelling, cell imbalance or unsafe charging behaviour.

Before buying or deploying the robot, verify whether batteries are original or rebuilt, measured runtime, charging voltage, heat, swelling, station function and specialist servicing. A proper evaluation should use the real tasks, routes, objects, users or operating conditions instead of relying only on a promotional video. Treat battery rebuilding as part of collector ownership.

You can request Sony aibo ERS-110 application advice through Anton Robots and compare the complete package or a more suitable alternative.

Can the Sony aibo ERS-110 be programmed? +

Yes, Sony offered the AIBO Performer Kit ERF-510 for creating custom motions. The Windows-era graphical editor used a three-dimensional AIBO model, timeline, collision checks and a Memory Stick to transfer movements. The practical result depends on the exact configuration, software, environment, accessories and operator workflow rather than the headline specification alone. The original software targeted Windows 95 or 98-era computers, and missing media or compatible hardware can make setup difficult.

Before buying or deploying the robot, verify Performer Kit, installation disc, Memory Stick adapter, compatible PC, licence, original files and safe motion limits. A proper evaluation should use the real tasks, routes, objects, users or operating conditions instead of relying only on a promotional video. Programming is historically interesting but requires a maintained legacy-computing environment.

You can request Sony aibo ERS-110 application advice through Anton Robots and compare the complete package or a more suitable alternative.

Does the Sony aibo ERS-110 charge itself? +

The ERS-110 came with a charging station but does not provide the later ERS-7-style autonomous self-docking experience. Owners charge or exchange the removable ERA-110B batteries using the original power equipment. The practical result depends on the exact configuration, software, environment, accessories and operator workflow rather than the headline specification alone. Missing or modified chargers and degraded cells create safety and compatibility risks.

Before buying or deploying the robot, verify station model, AC adapter, battery contacts, charge cycle, temperature, voltage, manuals and specialist battery advice. A proper evaluation should use the real tasks, routes, objects, users or operating conditions instead of relying only on a promotional video. Do not assume that every AIBO with a station can autonomously find and use it.

You can request Sony aibo ERS-110 application advice through Anton Robots and compare the complete package or a more suitable alternative.

Should I buy Sony aibo ERS-110, ERS-210 or ERS-7? +

Choose ERS-110 for first-generation rarity, ERS-210 for iconic second-generation design and ERS-7 for the most advanced original-series interaction. The later robots add sensors, expression, wireless features and easier everyday play, while ERS-110 has the strongest historical significance. The practical result depends on the exact configuration, software, environment, accessories and operator workflow rather than the headline specification alone. All are discontinued and depend on ageing batteries, proprietary Memory Sticks and specialist repair.

Before buying or deploying the robot, verify collector objective, completeness, budget, software, station, battery, repair access and desired interaction. A proper evaluation should use the real tasks, routes, objects, users or operating conditions instead of relying only on a promotional video. Collectors may prioritise ERS-110; users seeking richer behaviour usually prefer ERS-7.

Can the Sony aibo ERS-110 be shipped internationally? +

A used Sony aibo ERS-110 can be shipped internationally, but specialist packing and battery compliance are essential. Delivery depends on the destination country, commercial status, freight method, lithium-battery rules, customs, regional certifications and local service coverage. Its brittle ageing plastics, articulated neck and legs, rare accessories and lithium batteries can be damaged by normal parcel handling.

Before ordering, ask who acts as importer of record, whether software and warranty remain valid in the destination country and whether installation requires an approved local partner. Buyers should also confirm package dimensions, battery documentation, insurance, damage procedures, data-hosting requirements and any end-use restrictions. A robot that can physically be transported is not necessarily supported, activatable or legally deployable in every market.

You can request international availability for the Sony aibo ERS-110 through Anton Robots so the complete route can be checked.

Is the Sony aibo ERS-110 in stock and how long does delivery take? +

Sony aibo ERS-110 availability and delivery time can change according to production, regional inventory, programme eligibility, product condition, configuration and current demand. Supply is limited to the collector market, and complete working examples with original packaging and accessories appear unpredictably. A robot appearing online should not automatically be treated as locally stocked and ready to ship.

Before committing to a project or event date, ask whether the order is confirmed, backordered, used, refurbished or only an expression of interest, what equipment and software are available and when the complete package can be delivered and tested. Lead time can also be affected by freight, customs, battery transport, software activation, site preparation and training.

You can request current Sony aibo ERS-110 availability through Anton Robots. Buyers should obtain written confirmation of these points before approving a budget, import, research programme, collector purchase, or deployment.

What warranty and support should I check for the Sony aibo ERS-110? +

Before buying or deploying the Sony aibo ERS-110, check the warranty or support term, covered components, exclusions, service territory, repair process, software entitlement, spare-parts availability and who provides technical help. Sony’s original warranty has expired; buyers need a specialist inspection, seller guarantee, repair access and clear terms for battery and shipping damage. Ask these questions:

  • How long is the hardware warranty or seller guarantee?
  • Who handles diagnostics, repairs and replacement parts?
  • Are batteries, joints, sensors, computers and accessories covered?
  • Is software updating, developer support or training included?
  • What happens if the robot cannot be activated or repaired locally?
  • How long will parts, applications and documentation remain available?

For an industrial platform, discontinued robot or collector model, lifecycle support should be a primary buying criterion. Contact Anton Robots to review the package before purchase or deployment.

Is the Sony aibo ERS-110 worth buying? +

The Sony aibo ERS-110 is worth considering if you want one of the most historically significant consumer robots for collecting, exhibition or early-robotics research. Its strongest value comes from its first-generation status, limited production, original autonomous behaviour, 18-axis mechanism and motion-programming ecosystem.

However, it is only a good choice when the use case matches the robot’s maturity, commercial status, regional availability and operating limits. It is fragile, expensive to maintain and far less practical than later AIBO models for regular interaction. Buyers should compare complete ownership cost, software access, support, expected lifetime and alternatives that may perform the same task with less risk. For a business, research or collector purchase, define the required outcome and acceptable maintenance burden before committing.
