Vector is essentially Cozmo - but with a makeover. If you’re looking to buy a robot based on how advanced its individual components are, Vector is probably the robot you’re looking for. This game is made even more interesting by the rule that if the cubes match red, you shouldn’t touch them either. Quick Tap - The aim of this game is to tap the cubes before Cozmo does - but only when they match.

This game can really demonstrate how clever Cozmo is, as he might pretend that he is about to smack down on the cube in order to fool you into making the wrong decision.

One of the reasons that Cozmo is largely geared towards children is the wide range of games that he can play, incorporating his three cubes into this. Machine learning also allows Cozmo to get smarter over time, learning based on your interactions with him and getting better at games. Some of the attributes Cozmo can develop can be funny, and relatable - for example, he may sneeze if a dog walks past him, mimicking ‘allergies’.

One of Cozmo’s best features is that, although he’s ready to interact with you pretty much straight out of the box, through the use of machine learning, Cozmo will develop his own unique personality over time, based on how you and your family interact with him. His emotional memory is also pretty cool - if he gets upset about losing a game, he might remember this for a little while, and he may come across as a little less enthusiastic. His personality really comes to life through this - he might get annoyed after losing a game. He presents these emotions using a mixture of his animated eyes and sound clips, as well as movements. This means that your Cozmo may seem happy, angry, grossed-out, scared, sad, or shocked, adding that little bit extra to make this robot seem less like a robot and more like a member of the family. One of Cozmo’s biggest appeals is probably his adorable character and buildable personality.Ĭozmo seems to both recognize and display human emotions (using his face-screen to produce animated eyes).
