Cozmo – friendly robot What makes this small robot that can stand
with emotions on one of your palms so special, is that it
reacts differently to every situation. Cozmo
expresses his mood and emotions with a song, he is
sad if we ignore him, and he is joyful when he wins
in a game. Although he is equipped by sensors, these
are managed by software from a mobile application.
Hanns Tappeiner, the co-founder of “ANKI” from San
Francisco which made Kozmo, known for his creation
of software for management of toys – racing cars
with smart mobile phones, said “The reason we love
the robots we see in movies so much is because they
don’t just respond with the same canned responses,
they surprise you. It’s taken years but our technology
is finally to a point where we can build a robot with
personality—and bring some of the things you see in the
movies to real life.” The sale of Cozmo should start in
October, and the presales price is 160 American dollars.
