With the ability to exude a human-like expressiveness, Cozmo is a step towards more elaborate robots. Anki has taken robotics a step beyond the autonomous little race cars that preceded this unique product. The age of artificial intelligence is booming, and this cute robot toy may be the door to the future. Then there's Play, this will make up a significant part of your time with Cozmo. You keep its play energies up - all of these are presented in a nice visual - by interacting with it, doing stunts and also help it learn faces. Although the box says from 8 years and up, Cozmo had this 30-something smiling time and time again - it's a connected toy that truly connects. There is no assembly required. It comes complete with charger and three interactive power cubes. With the free app, it is compatible with both iOS and Android devices. Called Needs, the idea is that you have to play with Cozmo, feed it and also give it regular tune-ups. Most of these were actually part of the old app but now they are front and center.

It's got two treads that help it move along - which are customisable, with a number of colorful options available as optional extras - an outer plastic shell and a small cubed face on the front. After playing a game, Cozmo will react by appearing frustrated when it loses and celebrating when it wins. [5]

The Cozmo Robot 2.0 is more than just a toy – it is a glimpse into the future of robotics. With its advanced sensors and cameras, it can read and respond to the physical world in a way similar to how humans do. It can absorb human-like responses from encounters and experiences, allowing it to learn and adapt over time. While it may look like a simple robot toy, Anki has developed something more complex and sophisticated.

Take, for instance, Energy. This is one of the Needs that has to be topped up. The idea is that it gets energy from one of the three power cubes. All you have to do is shake it until you hear the energy grow, put the cube in front of Cozmo and it sups the energy from it. It's great to watch and the sound effects are perfect for it.

Cozmo Performs", a mode added in 2018, allows users to directly control Cozmo's expressions with the mobile app. [7] Design and specifications [ edit ]a b Stein, Scott (June 26, 2017). "Anki Cozmo now allows facial recognition-based programming". CNET. Red Ventures . Retrieved October 20, 2022.
