Vector Robot by Anki - Your Voice Controlled, AI Robotic Companion, With Amazon Alexa Built-In

Product Information

Firmware Management - easily upload firmware images to the Escape Pod for storage and flash them directly to a connected robot during the onboarding process. Unfortunately, you won't be able to get any free upgrades because Anki went out of business. The company that took their assets, Digital Dream Labs, now offers a fairly affordable subscription, but customers haven't been too happy with the latest update. Open Source Extension Engine - connect with third-party services to collect external information (weather, data from other smart devices, and more). Was it easy to setup and use? NO.. took ages.. its a right pain to get the Wifi to connect at times.

When roaming around the area, it would sometimes see our face and just speak our name, getting excited while doing it. There's a huge amount of charm and personality in this thing.

We'll certainly revisit Vector when the Alexa integration is live but for now Vector is a fun, robot companion with a mighty big brain. Having Vector around for a number of weeks in our house certainly extended the appeal of the robot. At first, we enjoyed playing with it and asking it questions but then things shifted after the first week.Vector is an updating platform, Cloud connected via Wi-Fi so he’s always learning and updating with new skills and features. Hello! Vector and I are so excited to be able to collaborate with this company to give you the opportunity to bring home your very own Vector to brighten your day! Movies of the past promised us that, a couple of decades into this millennium, we’d have robots smarter than the glorified toasters they’re passing off as ‘robots’ these days. Where’s our equivalent to R2D2, huh, future? Oh, actually, it’s right here in the form of the Anki Vector Smart Robot! There are many benefits to subscription or membership with Digital Dream Labs for your Vector. These include voice command access as well as new features, such as animations, expressions, games, and more! The chart below outlines the benefits you receive with your Membership. Putting in these powerhouse animators shows how much making Vector feel like a real-life member of the family is important to Anki.

It has this ability, thanks to the four near-field microphones inside its chassis. All of this can be done by saying "Hey Vector", it's wake word, and then asking it to do things.

Anki is pitching it as a family device that, in the near future, should be used in the home much like Google Assistant and Alexa are used now. the only big downside to both Cozmo and Vector is that Anki have gone out of business. The servers are still running for the cloud part of Vector. but there isnt any mainline support for him. Say hello to our little friend. Seriously, say ‘hey’ to this robot. Being interactive, it not only hears you, but it reacts!
