Abstract: Anki is an American company founded in 2010 by three Carnegie Mellon Robotics Institute graduates. Anki DRIVE was their first smash hit product, followed by Anki Overdrive in 2015 a very popular futuristic Scalextric racing car track with smart cars.The...
Abstract: Like Cosmo, Vector is an orange-sized robot that moves around on tracks, has fork-lift-like arms on the front and a large head between them that's almost entirely screen. On the outside, little is different except for the colour palette and some other min...
Vector's charming personality is an absolute delight, The technology and sensors involved are incredibly impressive, Future updates and support means Vector has huge potential
Lacking in features at launch, Really expensive, especially compared to other digital assistants, Constant need for attention can become a little irritating
Anki Vector – Robot butler at your service Remember Anki Cozmo from 2017? That adorable little robot was Amazon's best-selling toy that year, with his big personality and slew of interactive games making the likes of Teksta and Furby look prehistoric in c...

No app required, Powerful processor, Great fun to use
Its best features are still to come, Build a little too similar to Cozmo
We only scratched the surface of what Vector can do in our short time with it, but it's clear that this is a more sophisticated machine than Cozmo. Anki is pitching it as a family device that, in the near future, should be used in the home much like Googl...

Even though he has limited abilities, I'm having a lot of fun just having Vector around. It's gotten to the point that I miss him when he's quietly charging—even though he sometimes snores (yes, you read that right). The endless possibilities that will co
Right now, Vector is still a bit limited in what he can do, but that will improve with time, Final Thoughts
The magic of Vector is not what he can do, but what he may do in the future—even accounting for Alexa. Vector has taken the Cozmo concept in another direction—one that promises to raise the bar in a world of A.I. related robot toys.Price: $249.99Where to...
Abstract: Anybody familiar with Cozmo, however, will immediately recognize Vector as a member of the same family. Vector's outward appearance and design is almost identical, although there are a few important enhancements, not to mention a lot more power under the...
No phone app needed for active use, Voice commands are impressive, Easy to personalize, Alexa integration
App isn't great right now, Small delay in listening for commands
