Pet of the future: Sony’s robot dog Aibo is back!
Last month, it was announced that the famous 90s digital pet, Tamagotchi, will be back in the market for their 20th anniversary.
Sony has followed suit by launching even bigger and better pet technology. The brand’s new release, the Aibo ERS-100, is an “autonomous entertainment robot” — the cutest thing you’ll see today.
Meet Aibo
Yes, the little pupper is a robotic dog!
Isn’t he adorable? Look at those googly eyes — they’re actually OLED screens. That cute little nose? A camera. Aibo can “see” things with these senses and react to things around him. He also has voice-recognition capabilities so that means he knows your voice! He can even detect where sound is coming from and react to it.
He’s the most amazing thing ever!
He looks like a typical doggie but isn’t much of a floof (that means he has no fur and is hypoallergenic). He runs, moves, and plays around like any four-legged friend! This little doggo also responds to touch. Yes, he’ll love it when you pet him or scratch him behind the ear.
He does all that a doggo does
No two Aibos are the same. The doggo that each Aibo will grow up to be depends on each pupper’s upbringing and experiences. He reacts to his environment and this will shape his personality. All Aibo’s experiences are learned with artificial intelligence and updated in a cloud.
You can play with him, teach him tricks (or buy new ones from the Aibo store), or even introduce him to people in your life — the possibilities are endless!
Who’s a good dog?

It can do more than a normal doggie can: Aibo also records everything he experiences, all of which are uploaded to the cloud. These are memories you can actually browse through with the app.
The best part? There will never be accidents with this high-tech pupperoo.
Boop, baby doggo!
Best of all, he’s such a cutie pie!
Aibo is short for “Artificial Intelligence Robot.” According to their website, the word also means “friend” in Japanese. Sony’s Aibo project was launched in 1999, putting on sale a number of robot dog versions which were widely popular in Japan. As part of a restructuring effort, Aibo was shelved in 2006… until now. (YAY!)
This adorable baby does not come cheap, though. He will set you back JPY 198,000 (US$ 1,735), and as of writing, they have only been launched in Japan. They’re available for pre-order starting this month.

How the HUAWEI Active Rings run inspired my next streak
One active morning turned into a streak I wanted to keep!
There are days when running feels like a routine and there are mornings when it feels like a gift.
The HUAWEI Active Rings Fun Run landed perfectly on one of those good mornings. I woke up before the sun, optimistically laced my shoes, and took my place at the SM Mall of Asia Complex, where a thousand runners gathered with the same intention.
Everyone wanted to move with purpose and enjoy a moment that centered on fitness and a little glow from our smartwatches.
Finding my rhythm with my Active Rings
HUAWEI partnered with RUNRIO and a full roster of lifestyle staples like GCash, Shopee, Nature’s Spring, and URC. It created a space that felt alive even before anyone started running.
There were giant inflatables, interactive photo walls, and booths with snacks and hydration that framed the Race Village.
When the run began, the energy pushed me forward. The seaside breeze reminded me why I loved running outside. HUAWEI designed this event for their community of users and I felt that intention with every step.
It felt easy to check my stats and stay on pace because the watch tracked everything that mattered without distracting me.
I was inspired when seasoned runners passed me by, whereas some of them would later claim the top spots. The runners around me boosted me with energy that I wanted to match. They were competitive in a way that felt inspiring.
The little moments that made the morning sweeter
After crossing the finish line, I wandered around the Race Village again. I watched runners take photos with their medals and chat with friends they made during the route.
The GCash Watch Pay booth became unexpectedly helpful for a lot of participants. It let everyone bind their GCash account to their HUAWEI smartwatch.
It made sense for runners who preferred to go cashless and travel light. Shopee was also present and reminded everyone how modern life blends with fitness.
Every corner of the event touched a part of our daily routines. It showed how technology can help simplify healthy habits.
Keeping the streak alive with Light Up Your Active Rings
The fun run wrapped up the physical celebration but HUAWEI kept the momentum alive through the Light Up Your Active Rings Online Challenge. It runs from November 8 to 30 inside the HUAWEI Health App.
Participants only need to burn 1500 kcal within the challenge period to unlock the exclusive Manila Medal, a new badge inside the app that feels like a digital pat on the back.
Sharing the medal on TikTok with the hashtags #LightUpYourActiveRingsPH and #EnjoyYourMoment also enters participants into a chance to win a HUAWEI Watch GT 6.
HUAWEI will announce the winner on December 15. It feels like an invitation to stay active long after the race banners are packed away.
The challenge is simple and the message is clear: movement matters even when it feels small. Running, walking, cycling, or making your day a little more intentional can change the way you show up for yourself.
A community that runs with you
That morning reminded me that fitness does not need to feel lonely. The run united beginners, athletes, and curious participants who wanted to experience something new.
It gave us a morning filled with movement and reminded us that wearable technology can help us stay accountable in a way that feels supportive.
HUAWEI continues to build a fitness community that encourages healthier habits and celebrates every active streak. The Active Rings Fun Run made that mission feel real on the ground. Meanwhile, the Light Up Your Active Rings challenge brings it online for anyone who wants to keep going.
I left the MOA Complex with tired legs and a full heart. My Active Rings glowed with pride and I promised myself that this would not be the last time I ran for the kind of joy that morning gave me.
