Product Information

And Emo knows that your phone is essential to your lifestyle and can help you keep it charged up too! It’s pretty independent, so if you’re not around, Vector can go home to its charging station when it’s running low on battery power.

Unlike Cozmo, Vector is able to respond to voice requests and provide information such as the current time or weather, and is more akin to a virtual assistant than a children's toy or an educational device.The robot can be fed up to 30 characters at a time and goes through a rather amusing process to learn proper pronunciation. Tappeiner said that Cozmo and Vector were created because of Anki being "interested in a future where humans and robots co-exist in people’s homes". Whether he’s excited, bored, disappointed, happy or sad, Emo reacts to you with realistic emotions and actions!

There's a couple of lights on the chassis: one on the top which changes color depending on what Cozmo is doing. So whether you want to play games, explore the world through Cozmo’s eyes, or learn to code simple programs for Cozmo to follow, the App is the key.

So, not only can Cozmo play games and perform certain tasks, but through the Cozmo Code Lab, children can learn to program their own simple games and express their creativity using a graphical programming interface based on Scratch blocks. Secondly, but directly related to the first major difference between Cozmo vs Vector, is that Cozmo is first and foremost an educational toy for beginner coding. Anki has taken robotics a step beyond the autonomous little race cars that preceded this unique product. Later that year, Digital Dream Labs acquired the ownership of Cozmo, as well as its successor Vector.
