Robot draws
The Anki Vector and MekaMon V2 both want to teach and play with your family… at least until they become self-aware and take over. So which would we rather be enslaved to?
[Words Heather Wald, Tom Morgan]
Anki Vector
What’s the story?
Vector is a little AI robot who wants to be your best mate and help you during your day. Its cartoon eyes use a high-res colour IPS display to express emotions, while rubber tyres help it move around and a lever acts as its hands.
It has four-mic array, a camera and an IR laser scanner for facial recognition.
