AI Robot Companion by Anki name 'VECTOR'
VECTOR
VECTOR
Anki's Vector is a small robot with a great personality. It's a new way to have a smart home partner or virtual assistant that has its own mind.
Cozmo was Anki's first robot, which was released in 2016. It was well-known for its many capabilities, such as playing games, assisting children in learning to code, and doing a range of tasks. However, Cozmo could only be used via a smartphone app.
Anki has now taken all of the technology from the smartphone app and placed it into a robot. A walking talking, emotional (positive or negative, no violent emotions), Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri are all in one.
Vector can only perform almost everything if he has access to the internet.

What can we do with vector ?
Vector, like any other smart assistant, is always on and always listening. Vector will get excited when he hears someone walk into the room or any unexpected noise, especially if he remembers your voice.
Vector is capable of making you laugh, describing the weather, taking photos, playing blackjack, and much more. When he detects low power, he can also return to his charging base.Β

Vector was created by Anki to be interactive with its owner and to have natural behavior, not just to be a smart speaker on its own.
If VECTOR doesn't understand what you're saying, he'll shake his head and make a 'Beep Beep' sound instead of saying "Sorry, I don't understand."
If we pay attention to him, he will grow more lively.
" Hey! VECTOR "

π Summary of the survey π
π Summary of the survey π
A tiny robot with its own personality and intelligence, Vector can do a variety of tasks while connected to the internet. It can't do big things like cleaning or washing because it is too small. However, when you consider its built-in rationale, it may not be the disadvantages. It is voice-activated and can be updated over WiFi, so it's getting smarter. Remember to follow the instructions.
π Discussion on the survey π
π Discussion on the survey π
In my opinion, it's a wonderful little robot companion because it's happy and intelligent enough to complete a variety of tasks. We can even change the color of its eyes. It does, however, have limits, such as requiring the user to only demand one action at a time and speaking properly, as do robots. If you don't know-how, look up 'VECTOR things to say or do" on the internet.
Robotics applications β I think of the following two things:
VR glasses to observe the VECTOR's vision, allowing the user to explore small or narrow spaces and buildings, which can be developed into a variety of things, such as using VECTOR as an explorer in a dangerous area or using it as a playing game in a giant house as in an amusement park, such as the user role-playing as a human walking along with the giant's house.
VECTOR has speech recognition features. So we may collect data to improve synthetic voice more natural, making VECTOR more human-sounding. This data can also be applied to improve other synthetic voice robots or functions that communicate and interact with humans by collecting it as a database.
