Detailed information about Vector Robot by Anki

He has a 4 microphone array to be able to sense from which direction sound is coming. If you speak to him he will turn to look at you, if a loud noise happens then he will be startled just like anyone else. He has sensors to simulate the sense of touch and has accelerometers so that he is aware of being moved and touched.

The bright little robot also knows when he is running low on power and needs to recharge. When he is feeling low he will scoot on over to his charger all by himself and plug-in until he is charged up once again. This would be a great gift for anyone in the family who loves gadgets and is fascinated by robotics.

What we love about this product

His processor is equivalent to a smartphone. When this is combined with the cloud connectivity, he has a very powerful brain for his size. He can react to his surroundings and can connect to the internet to access information and answer questions. He has two types of voice. One is a unique voice assembled from many hundreds synthesized sounds so it appears he has a language of his own. He also has a customizable text to speech voice for answering questions directly to the user.
