Pose
Data specifying the angle of each AIBO joint.
AIBO can be made to move in various ways by
specifying the angle of each joint.
Start pose/end pose:
Start and end poses are important basic poses.
Even when different poses connect motions, by
using set poses, AIBO’s built-in program
enables AIBO to make a smooth transition from
one pose to the next.
Start or end poses can be selected in the start or
end pose box in the Action Window but start/
end poses cannot be edited, added or deleted.
Sound
Sound issued from AIBO’s speaker. WAVE and
MIDI files can be used. Sound in either format
can be edited or a MIDI file created.
Synchronization
To adjust the timing among elements. The
timing is adjusted in Action Composer, by using
the sound, LED or action markers or by
adjusting the start point of a sound file
(WAVE/MIDI).
Examples of synchronization are making AIBO
perform in time to music and making the LED’s
flash to accentuate AIBO’s movements.
Velocity
Indicates the strength of a note. Velocity
originally means “speed”; since the strength of a
note played on the piano depends on how fast
the key is pressed, the term velocity indicates
the strength of a note in MIDI systems.
