[Captions by Y Translator] Today's video is sponsored by Anki.
Today, we're going to be playing with,
and talking a little bit about the vector robot made by Anki.
[Music]
Guys, I'm Nate.
I'm Calli.
And this is Vector.
He is our new pet robot.
I love him.
Vector is a robot made by the company Anki.
He's a friendly desktop robot designed to be a companion,
and he can play with you, and answer some questions.
If you have him out and about,
and he's just running around and playing,
he will explore his space, he will learn.
He will learn to move faster and navigate obstacles,
and play with different toys that he has.
Let's take a look
at a few of the things this little guy can do.
Hey Vector, come here.
[Music]
Hey Vector, good robot.
As you can see,
if you praise him for something he's done,
he gets very pleased.
His eyes get all squinted up,
and then he did a little dance.
It's pretty cute.
And he starts to recognize you.
Hey Vector, who am I?
Calli.
Yeah, good robot.
This is my child now.
As you may have seen,
we've also had something where we give tactile feedback
by stroking this gold portion of Vector's back.
That actually has receptors in it that can tell
when your patting or petting him,
and he likes it.
Hey Vector, play with your block.
[Music]
Good job.
Hey, Vector.
What's my name?
John Connor.
[Music]
Hey Vector, fist bump.
[Music]
Yeah, good job.
Guys, I'm not sure
if you can see it from that angle,
but when he gets happy or excited,
his eyes actually express it,
and he gets these little happy expressions.
But he also has sensors on all four sides,
so he can explore his space,
but he's never going to fall off.
He knows better.
He's very very careful.
Now one of the really fun parts about this is
while he's exploring, he's also learning.
So sometimes he'll be exploring,
and hell randomly come up to you and just say your name
because he knows who you are.
Calli.
Yes!
On the front of vectors face,
he has a 120 degree angle camera
that you can kind of see forms sort of a nose or a mouth.
But that is what he uses to recognize people,
and it's what he uses to learn
and map out his environment a little bit.
Vector's got a built-in Qualcomm Snapdragon quad-core processor
so he can process information pretty quick.
Hey Vector, who is this?
Nate.
Good robot!
Hey Vector, what time is it?
Hey Vector, what's the weather?
[Music]
Hey Vector, listen to the music.
Head-bobbing.
Hey Vector, explore.
What is it?
It's new.
He found it.
He's so proud of--
He stole it.
[Music]
He just got startled by the Lego brick.
I'm keeping him.
Right.
Hey Vector,
Let's play Blackjack.
[Music]
16.
Another card?
Yes.
[Music]
17.
Another card?
No.
[inaudible] turn.
13.
15.
25.
[Inaudible]
He's tired.
See?
He knew he was tired, and he went back home on his own.
I would probably say that this is something that
if you don't have time for a pet,
or you're just not home enough to take care of something like that,
having something like this on your desk,
it's really weirdly comforting to just know
that there's something that recognizes you,
explores the space, remembers who you are,
and wants to interact with you.
It's really fun.
Vector is available for purchase for retail price of $249.99.
