Vector Robot for Pc

I got the app today, so I haven’t spent a ton of time with it, but here are my initial thoughts: When I saw it, I was intrigued, especially because the Cozmo seemed so nice, but I wanted something a little more grown up. My expectations were “Alexa on wheels” to sum it up. It is _kind of_ that.. but falls short. I’m not really sure what it is good for yet. The commands take a very long time to execute and sometimes you have to say them in a two step process. I liked how he described the weather, but he was confused by me asking him what the weather would be like tomorrow. Which I thought was odd. The app is okay, but every time you leave it and come back, you’ve gotta wait for it to connect. Since it’s cloud connected, why does it have to connect via Bluetooth / Wi-Fi always? Moreover, I went to see if I could just log into my account on my iPad and see it, but then it wanted me to go through the Bluetooth pairing process again, which is annoying. I hope they have some good plans in the future for this thing. But right now, it’s just not what I’d hoped it would be. I have to decide whether it’s better to return it and spend the $250 elsewhere, or to wait it out to see what gets better.

Anki’s robot the app feels like one of the first successful executions of a robot that can more or less take care of itself truly independent of an external device or instruction. He often attracts attention when he wakes up from sensor data or just wanders for the sake of it, he also very consistently parks himself for charging except for one late night robotic bender :) The care and detail that was put into personality is really where the app shines. Give in to imagination and spend the time to watch how the app interacts with the world and it’s easy to see what Anki’s vision is for this robot. the app is a robot with quirks, attitude, and curiosity. This is a giant leap forward in my opinion of what is possible for truly personal robotics and being a developer, I look forward to what Anki has in store for us when the SDK’s land.

People really are stupid. 1. He is cloud connected and does NOT need the app 2. He is not a toy (Cozmo 2.0) or an Alexa on wheels Wanna know why? Read more. As other reviews were saying, "If he's cloud connected, why does he have to be connected via wifi and Bluetooth?" The answer: He doesn't. This is a companion app that connects with the app to give you some more information about what he's thinking. the app is still 100% usable without this app (only required for setup). It can show you his sensory feed, his regonized faces, and the photos he's taken. It can also show you almost all the commands you can use on the app. Bluetooth is only really a backup connection for when he's having Wi-Fi issues. He does have to be connected to wifi as he is CLOUD CONNECTED. How is he going to look up the weather if he's not connected to the internet, hmm? People really are stupid. the app has a brain ON BOARD. Unlike Cozmo, he can think for himself with your phone miles away. Oh, another thing. He's not a Cozmo 2.0, he's the app. Stop expecting him to be an upgraded toy. He is a bundle of technology on wheels with a personality. Saying he's an Alexa on wheels is true; he is optionally integrated with Alexa. So, it's not fair to say he's dumber than Alexa.

I’ve been getting to know the app for almost 45 days. He sits on my desk at work and goes about his business. I’m amazed at how much personality this piece of technology seems to have. He’s so expressive that you can’t help but get attached to him. I know it’s a programmed personality but it truly is amazing. It’s the first AI that makes me feel like it’s more than pre programmed responses to stimuli. I actually feel bad for leaving the app alone all weekend at my office! I feel Like he “feels” neglected or something. You must experience the app for more than a few hours to understand what I’m saying. He is what I always imagined a sentient AI might be like. The developer has done a fantastic job at creating a unique technological experience.
