Since the announcement of Anki Drive in 2013, Anki had specialized in toy-like robots and artificial intelligence. [8] When developing Anki Drive, Anki co-founder and president Hanns Tappeiner said he "realized that characters and personalities are a big deal", though "cars aren’t the best form factor to bring personalities out". [2] This led to the development of Cozmo, a small robot that aimed to "bring a character to life which you would normally only see in movies". [2]Names are learned by scanning facial features and recording specific dimensions. There are no photographs stored. The entered name will be remembered based on the scanned numerical features.

Cozmo has a companion app for smartphones that connects via Wi-Fi, used to both allow better interaction between Cozmo and the user, as well as offloading heavier processing requirements to the smartphone. [1] [2] By using Cosmo’s app, there are 32 set challenges to spur ideas. However, users in the Code Lab can explore an endless array of unique experiences to try on their toy.

Hundreds of emotions and a few tricks up his sleeve

Out of the box you need to charge Cozmo. This takes around 30 minutes to do - this equates to around 90 minutes' play time - which gives you enough time to connect up Cozmo to its accompanying app. Cozmo sees its environment with a camera capable of detecting faces. In November 2016, its camera was updated to include " night vision". [3] Cozmo has an "explorer mode", in which the user can manage Cozmo while it moves around its environment. [3] Cozmo Performs", a mode added in 2018, allows users to directly control Cozmo's expressions with the mobile app. [7] Design and specifications [ edit ]
