Win an Anki Cozmo AI Robot

Win an Anki Cozmo AI Robot - Meet Cozmo, a cute little robot from Anki — makers of the ever popular Overdrive AI cars. Cozmo is an artificially intelligent, robotic companion. In other words, he’s a little toy robot, with a cheeky personality. Read on to see what we thought. Cozmo is so friendly he wouldn’t be out of place in Disney movie. Cozmo loves to interact with you. He has a camera to recognise you, and can greet you by name. He has a 128 x 64 pixel display for a face, and he uses this to display emotion. Cozmo is capable of exploring his environment, and as you play with him more, you’ll unlock skills, tricks, and games. This display is similar to the one in our Arduino OLED gaming tutorial, so you could, in theory, make your own Cozmo – but that would be a lot of work. Cozmo has his own unique personality. He’ll get bored and do a wheelie, or he’ll setup games to play with you, and get grumpy if he loses. Cozmo can say your name, and can speak words you type in, but his personality comes from noises rather than words. Cozmo will cheer, or mutter a noise, depending on what’s happening — and it’s surprisingly realistic.
