This is the antique cosmo so coming in from Anki is a bit of a smart robot
e-type affair it's actually a much smaller box than I have there some brass
information this is a robot that interacts with you and all stuff
thankfully as opposed to being a robot that doesn't do anything I thought that
seems to be a bit useless he's a cute little critter that has two eyes here
and can push stuff around runs around on some tracks and learns a bit from you
has got some artificial intelligence and a camera in here so it can interact with
you you can talk to it it'll respond and have emotional exchanges with you via
its eyes okay so there's some blurb if you would care to read through that a
bit like Star Wars flowing through here it obviously has an app that's are
compatible with Apple Google Play and Amazon app stores will also compatible
with Kindle I'm guessing it's got a Qualcomm inside it and it's quite
connected voice-activated need to interact people with people help site
and hangs ID and help site hopefully does the vacuuming explores the world
and learns new things included in this is the vector robot a cube the charger
I'm guessing the cube is a bit of a toy that it plays with much like in
terrahawks so we're gonna pop it open
set it in to its charger and get it going it's one of those boxes okay right
yeah so la-dee-da sensible packaging we'll start
with this because it's closest this is one of the blocks it looks like it takes
a battery of some description and house well some stuff on it there's there's
things over here I don't know what actually supposed to do but yeah okay
and then under here we have a charger thing okay I'll go over something else
is dead this this is him I actually thought from the imagery that
he was a bit bigger but that we'll have a look around him in a second that's why
we pull that out so we've got the charge bay there that he parks in a bit like a
Roomba it's charged by USB okay well we've got over there I wonder if it'll
do stuff eventually yeah that's a little wrong desk of foam we have an
instruction manual to the side here with vector product information guide and a
Quick Start Guide um the bag of silica that's it that's your lot so this is our
guy there's two little pogo plugs there which obviously connect here to charge
these are the trucks allow him to drive around probably I'm supposed to do that
was it's he's not on that's this little face in there which and you can see the
camera in below that there's a we run cut out
camera and then there's this as well which he uses to pick up the block and
there's speakers I think something else here and if we put that there we get a
green light there's a blue light there so he's he's lacking battery power I'll
leave him charging for a whiie how far and and come back to him later on and
see what he's doing okay so we're pretty much charged it's green now as opposed
to blue it's still flashing that charging is happening but we're gonna go
ahead anyway because I'm too excited about getting this up and running okay
so we have to download the app which is called vector robot from Anki Inc it's
got three point three stars after 388 reviews
it's a 10k downloads so I mean that's sold 10k these are people just
downloading the app to be new Z vectors whom robot who's alive aware
voice-enabled eager to help okay vector robot is vector right now is okay the
app is a problem it crashes and phrases on maybe some lesser devices okay so
some people are having problems with the app we'll see how we do let's get that
installed okay so this thing has a has a personality
apparently it's a wee bit coy when it first comes alive so I'm interested to
see how this actually works I don't think it's gonna do tricks straight out
of the box but you never know just to get people into it it might start doing
that sort of thing and we're going to throw that in there as well just for
giggles okay so welcome it's official let's go okay we're with UK English
place vector on charger oh we have to sign up for an account
we've done that so we're just collecting anonymous usage create your account yet
can't keep me informed of all things Anki creating accounts activating a
condom your friend is not active okay so was searching for vector and we're right
beside each other so hopefully it won't take too long
Dulce uses Wi-Fi so it'll obviously pass the Wi-Fi details over to the vector
robot I'm I'm guessing there isn't anything I have to press on the vector
it's taking his time so much so I'm getting bored bored so while not taking
a very long time to do it here's some of the specification tenses and we have an
HD camera an infrared a laser sensor a power button a capacitive touch sensor
and beamforming for microphone array
mm-hmm okay after hitting get help it decided to ask me if I can use the
Bluetooth I said yes oh right yes Annie it you seven any eight new seven Kinect
vector needs to pair your device via bluetooth start to start pairing place a
factor on charger and then quickly click the button on top twice whoo there's a
key
okay we have to confirm the code
GUP confirmed find networks without one oh and we're knowing all my local Wi-Fi
so it's got updates today
meet vector he's humping whilst doing that doing the upload I'm going to
entertain you all by pulling this little piece of plastic right it led up did you
enjoy it Dundee this is gonna take three minutes
and 50 seconds to do that okay so we're getting to the end here and it's
restarting the vector after and unloading and strolling some updates
it's connecting now okay so we know I have a connection with the env thing so
we're gonna try and connect to it and see what happens
we've got V and we've got a V on the front so with any luck
aha references vectors location city is incredibly wrong we'll change that to
wonder how advanced this gets buying or not there we are at the top north join
yeah right so we want to go with Celsius because it's correct inches you know no
I prefer centimeters I know yes and we'll go with a 24-hour clock and
continue right and let's find the cube thankfully we've already pulled the
table height as I entertained you with earlier we have connected to the cloud
as well and we're ready to go I believe vector is now registered to with your
Anki account to connect to vector from another device done of the vector app
and login using your IKEA kind okay so we hit continue vector is noise is ready
we wake up laptop start and look at vector
hey vector okay so it's giving us some some tips here is it too hard to
interact with them come here
come here okay so he will make a signed on his back lights will turn blue
they're not blue while his lights are on say come here
if you speak softly where is the ho Ria's the volume of your voice of your
voice instead of saying a vector come here okay hey vector my name is Gareth
that's right yes
okay so I'm going through some of the cute the tips and tricks that's
suggesting in the app hey vectors go and find your cube hey vector pick up your
kids
pick up your cube
Hey look at that maybe it's just not on or something like
that maybe I have to there's a way to turn it on there's no buttons or
anything all this hey vector do wheel stand
hey vector give me a fist bump
so looking through the application we can do a few things like we can play
Bach Jack with it we can give me a fist bump
there's cube tricks that I couldn't get it to do quite right away
dance to the beat oh close to the edge of the table but apparently that's what
they do they they explore they get to know their surroundings and things
hey vector start exploring
hey vector pick up your cube
a vector go to sleep go to sleep and he just switches off just like that
okay well there's a lot to learn here there's a lot to be going through
there's all kinds of commands and things that are built into the app that we're
not going to be able to get to go through right now also I'm not entirely
sure how much you can bombard him with
with requests and tasks because they've injected a bit of a personality he can
follow up with you and things about he can become a little bit annoyed with you
and I'm bit annoyed that I can't get him to pick up the cube something simple
like that but we're gonna throw this out to Peter for him to review hopefully you
can have more luck with it than I can obviously he's gonna try it a little
more longer than two or three minutes but if you have any questions or
anything you want him to look at in particular let me know in the comments
box down below within reason hit that subscribe button
and give us a wee thumbs up if you fancy and other than that
take care
