The Making of Cozmo (more in-depth video):
https://youtu.be/aVpz8yBBKO0
Cozmo is a small little toy robot that's more like a little buddy than a toy. Anki has brought together a team of professionals in Artificial Intelligence, Game Design, Animation and more to create the sort of character one might see in a movie like Wall-E. He learns over time how to interact with the world, how to recognize you, and even what he himself is capable of.
Another great feature is that others will be able to freely program new actions into Cozmo. So if you want your Cozmo to spin in circles when he gets excited or even something like making him look embarrassed when he screws up, you can program that. And I believe the idea is that you'll be able to download others' code changes if they make it available online for the public to use. You can read about the SDK [url=http://thenextweb.com/gadgets/2016/07/15/anki-cozmo-sdk-coming-this-fall/]here[/url].
I personally think Cozmo is adorable, and I've already decided I'm going to buy one. I wanna' see how he'll react to being pushed over or being put in a small box.
