Anki Vector Repair

The Anki Vector is a palm sized smart robot companion that was released on October 13, 2018 and typically sells for $250. He has the ability to recognize faces, detect objects, and complete voice commands all while retaining a loveable personality. Designed as a personal assistant and friend, Vector hosts a wide variety of sensors which, when coupled with his advanced AI, allow him to be a useful and valuable companion to everyday life.

Additionally, when given network access, Vector can be quick to answer questions and perform important tasks. Vector is used through a companion smartphone app and has Amazon Alexa built in, allowing him to be connected to a home system.

Vector’s main body consists of a set of tracks run by two driving wheels each, a forklift like arm that can interact with his companion cube, a display which houses a camera and animated face, and a main ‘torso’ which houses the battery, control modules, and power button.

Vector can be differentiated from his earlier model, Cozmo, by its black color (opposed to Cozmo’s white), and wider array of sensors.
