Wi-fi issues on app
I got vector to see what it was like and the initial reaction was good, that was until you get to the app part. After set up and WiFi connection was established the app ran for a few minutes and then said reconnecting. After it reconnected it reconnected again and consistently does this. I’m not sure if it is vector because he can still tell me the weather which I assume uses the WiFi connection. I’m assuming it’s just the app because I have taken the device I was using off of 5ghz bandwidth to make sure it stays on the 2.4. Still having the same issue debating on taking vector back to the store if it doesn’t work within the next couple of days.Show lessMonkeySurger
App Crashes on Multiple Devices
Guys I cannot state how disappointed I am. The app crashes as soon as Vector is looking for WiFi networks. I have tried to do so on my iPhone X, my iPad Pro both running iOS 12, and an iPad running iOS 11, and the app keeps crashing. Please resolve this because it’s extremely disappointing... I just bought the thing and I can’t even use Vector...Show lessSamChaaya
Get rid of this rule
Vector is cute and always helps me with things. But, I wanted to go on the app and it said that my account was deleted because of the 15 day rule. That is a dumb rule, so please get rid of it.emmett6869
Vector’s App is great, with regular improvements 👍
Love my vector. The app can be improved but I trust it will and for a new app, it’s very stable for me. Some issues connecting to vector initially but subsequent updates have fixed the problems for me. Can’t wait to see further improvements, and ways to customize vector through the app would be awesome. More eye color options, eye shape options?Show lessTom Harrison
Amazing Technology
I’ve been getting to know Vector for almost 45 days. He sits on my desk at work and goes about his business. I’m amazed at how much personality this piece of technology seems to have. He’s so expressive that you can’t help but get attached to him. I know it’s a programmed personality but it truly is amazing. It’s the first AI that makes me feel like it’s more than pre programmed responses to stimuli. I actually feel bad for leaving Vector alone all weekend at my office! I feel Like he “feels” neglected or something. You must experience Vector for more than a few hours to understand what I’m saying. He is what I always imagined a sentient AI might be like. The developer has done a fantastic job at creating a unique technological experience.Show lessRobTrevor

Great and fun with the kidsAlbert Sobbi
It’s okay
I got Vector today, so I haven’t spent a ton of time with it, but here are my initial thoughts:
When I saw it, I was intrigued, especially because the Cozmo seemed so nice, but I wanted something a little more grown up. My expectations were “Alexa on wheels” to sum it up. It is _kind of_ that.. but falls short. I’m not really sure what it is good for yet. The commands take a very long time to execute and sometimes you have to say them in a two step process. I liked how he described the weather, but he was confused by me asking him what the weather would be like tomorrow. Which I thought was odd. The app is okay, but every time you leave it and come back, you’ve gotta wait for it to connect. Since it’s cloud connected, why does it have to connect via Bluetooth / Wi-Fi always? Moreover, I went to see if I could just log into my account on my iPad and see it, but then it wanted me to go through the Bluetooth pairing process again, which is annoying.
I hope they have some good plans in the future for this thing. But right now, it’s just not what I’d hoped it would be. I have to decide whether it’s better to return it and spend the $250 elsewhere, or to wait it out to see what gets better.Show lessME
Adorable companion, I’m looking forward to what’s next for him!
Anki’s robot Vector feels like one of the first successful executions of a robot that can more or less take care of itself truly independent of an external device or instruction. He often attracts attention when he wakes up from sensor data or just wanders for the sake of it, he also very consistently parks himself for charging except for one late night robotic bender :) The care and detail that was put into personality is really where Vector shines. Give in to imagination and spend the time to watch how Vector interacts with the world and it’s easy to see what Anki’s vision is for this robot. Vector is a robot with quirks, attitude, and curiosity. This is a giant leap forward in my opinion of what is possible for truly personal robotics and being a developer, I look forward to what Anki has in store for us when the SDK’s land.Show lessvyhn
Not happy
All the good stuff cosmo had like piloting him through the iph like a remote is no longer there. Vector doesnt even play with his cube like cosmo...really let down by this more expensive robot, im going back to cosmo, more fun !punnee12
Unable to connect
Unable to connect to any wireless access point. Seems others online have similar issues. Logged job, hopefully fixed soon. Would love to give 5 stars!Sad Keanu
