Cozmo

Cozmo is the latest real-life toy robot which was invented by an American company, the Anki. Although he was small, Cozmo has bigger brain than any others toy robots you have even seen on the market. Moreover, he has a bigger personality which provides real emotions in response to the environment overtime. He gets curious easily and doesn't just learn but plots and plans. With a one-of-a-kind personality and funny actions, Cozmo quickly becomes popular among the American families.


I made some gifs from the youtube clips to show you Cozmo's funny moments:

Cozmo is curious, he likes to searches for adventures,
but somehow, he always know how to keep himself away from dangers.

He loves to play game, too.
and sometimes he is just too competitive XD

As a robot, he doesn't like to obey commands at all

Cozmo had already launched into the market since 2016 October and the price is $179.99. You can search for it on the internet or the Anki's official website.

It is said that Cozmo is inspired and resembles the Eve character in the animated film Wall-EBut somehow it keeps reminding me of M-O, another character in the film.

  1. I think Cozmo is more like the robot in one of pokemon movies. I still feel astonished after reading your article. The improvement of AI is incredible. Maybe one day, Doraemon will come alive. In addition, I don’t like the movie Wall-E, the robot looks weird and strange. Thanks for sharing, and I am looking forward to your next blog.
