About this deal
While it’s required for setting up the robot and pulling off certain functions (like an “Explorer” mode that turns Cozmo into a robo RC vehicle), Cozmo is most fun when interacting with of its own accord. Combined with facial recognition software, the latter feature means it’s capable of recognising, remembering, and reacting to up to 10 different faces, as well as interacting intelligently with its surroundings. It's a genius idea by Anki to supply three power cubes as they can be used for a whole manner of games.

Interestingly, the name Cozmo isn't seen at all on the device, but Anki branding is emblazoned on the back. With its expressive LCD screen “face,” built-in wheels, and range of sensors and cameras, Cozmo can move around and interact with its surroundings in various ways. Hollywood has a lot to answer for when it comes to our perceptions of Artificial Intelligence, or AI.We’ll be spending some more time with our new robot buddy ahead of its UK launch, so check back soon for further impressions. There's a couple of lights on the chassis: one on the top which changes color depending on what Cozmo is doing.
