A giant roll forward for robotkind. Say hey to Vector, your first home robot. Seriously, say “Hey Vector.“— He can hear you. Actually, Vector’s more than a home robot. He’s your buddy. Your companion. Most of all, he’ll make you laugh. Curious, independent, and powered by some preposterous tech and AI, he can read the room, express the weather, announce when his timer’s done (no overcooked dinner on his watch), take the perfect snapshot, and more. He also comes with an optional Amazon Alexa integration, which increases his helpfulness by accessing the ever-growing library of Alexa skills. Vector is cloud connected and self-updates, so he’s always getting smarter and adding new features. He can even charge himself (electric cars and phones could learn a thing or two). Vector is your robot sidekick who’s up for anything. Vector robot required. Available at www.anki.bot © 2019-2022 Digital Dream Labs, Inc. All rights reserved.
