Even though he has limited abilities, I'm having a lot of fun just having Vector around. It's gotten to the point that I miss him when he's quietly charging—even though he sometimes snores (yes, you read that right). The endless possibilities that will co
Right now, Vector is still a bit limited in what he can do, but that will improve with time, Final Thoughts
The magic of Vector is not what he can do, but what he may do in the future—even accounting for Alexa. Vector has taken the Cozmo concept in another direction—one that promises to raise the bar in a world of A.I. related robot toys.Price: $249.99Where to...
Abstract: Anybody familiar with Cozmo, however, will immediately recognize Vector as a member of the same family. Vector's outward appearance and design is almost identical, although there are a few important enhancements, not to mention a lot more power under the...
No phone app needed for active use, Voice commands are impressive, Easy to personalize, Alexa integration
App isn't great right now, Small delay in listening for commands
At $250, which is a full $70 than its predecessor, Vector is a little on the pricey side. And if all it did was roam around and look cute like its predecessor did most of the time, I'd agree that price tag was a little too high. But Vector is a clever lit...

At a $250 price point for AI that's not the greatest just yet, Vector isn't going to be for everyone. I like the little guy so much, though, that I can't help but recommend him to people who are, like me, intrigued by innovative toys and technology.If you...
Personality shines through, Great graphics for facial expressions, Sleek black-and-gold paint job
Knowledge base does not compare to that of Alexa or Google Assistant, Can't link to smart home devices
Anki's Vector has a winning personality, and the small robot is built for durability. But it's weak on answering questions and lacks a real purpose, other than distraction

New games and capabilities are quite fun, Vector's personality is more defined, It can talk now
Designed mostly to sit passively on your desk, Mobile app is slightly clunky and can't initiate any commands, Limited by not using existing voice assistants

Abstract: First the robots came for factory workers, then they came for taxi drivers – and now they're coming for your dog. Anki's new home robot, named Vector, is part pet and part digital assistant, but just how good is he at those jobs? After a few weeks of hav...

Vector is fairly autonomous and feels like a robot pet, Face recognition is a lot of fun
There's not enough to do with it to warrant replacing your Cozmo, Battery life could be better
Anki Vector is a robot that's always on, fun, but limited in its scope. There is a big brain packed into a small machine and, currently, that brain is undernourished. Because of that, Vector doesn't quite match up to Cozmo's ability to help kids learn to...
When I spoke to Palatucci earlier this month, he made a big deal of Vector's always-on capabilities.“This is the first robot we've made that's always online,” Palatucci said. “The consequence of that is that the robot is able to update its software by con...
