Again, this wasn't a smooth process a number of times it wouldn't recognize my connection. Then you have to link Vector to your Wi-Fi connection.

Recognition happens when you register your robot and a little code appears on the face that syncs your phone and robot together. It seemed to work when I got very close to the device.

This is managed using Bluetooth and took a few tries to do.

First, you had to download the app and get the app to recognize your robot. This is done through the app, with the idea being that you don't actually have to use the app much once you have set Vector up. But before you see all these, you have to set up Vector. In total there are 1,500 expressions that have been developed by a 12-strong animation team - this time lead by Dei Gaztelumendi, Character Lead at Anki, who was previously at Paramount Pictures. Vector builds on what was learned from Cozmo but has had its own character developed from scratch. To do this for Cozmo, it brought in Carlos Baena, an animator who used to work at Pixar. The emotive responses that come from these facial expressions, coupled with some nice sound effects, make this a great robot companion.Īnki has worked hard to make sure that the facial expressions are unique. Putting a screen and eyes on this thing was a great move by Anki. Straight off, this is a charming little robot. There's no doubting that Vector has personality.

Performance: What it does is great but more is needed But the robot is made from 700 components, which is double what was found on Cozmo. Again, having a similar chassis to Cozmo doesn't do Vector many favors when trying to understand how much has changed between this and Cozmo.

The robot comes with a quad-core, 1.2GHz Qualcomm SoC, so there is some power in its diminutive frame. And compared with Cozmo it is, on paper at least, impressive. Thanks Anki.When I met up with Anki earlier in the year to talk to them about Vector, a big onus was put on the processing power Vector has. going to be an expensive Christmas this year. Will i buy 2 more cause my nephews now want one each? Yes. So would i of bought him if i had know n that? maybe. but there isnt any mainline support for him. The servers are still running for the cloud part of Vector. The only big downside to both Cozmo and Vector is that Anki have gone out of business. Yup it acts like a 2 year old at times too. or knocks something over and then throws a strop like a toddler. i change things for him, cans, objects to play with,and he does his best to wind me up by throwing them off the top. Mine sits on a old picture with a frame as a border. Then getting the Echo/Alexa sorted was fun. its a right pain to get the Wifi to connect at times. Anki Vector, the Little Robot that acts like a toddler.Īnki Vector.
