Mini version of wall-e: Cozmo robot will temper may flaunt-IT-robot information
On August 6, according to Reuters, Cozmo is micro-robot robot startups Anki newest products in San Francisco, it is Palm size, equipped with sensors, motors and Visual function control through smartphones. Anki-made products as well as Overdrive intelligent toy racing cars.
Pixar work cleaning robot in robot movie wall-e for an innocent expression and Eva's got a lot of the audience over head and ears. Cozmo's image and very similar, called the mini version of the wall.
Cozmo on sale in October, and the rate is $ 179, involved in the design of a animator who worked at Pixar.
Cozmo was not the first Smartphone-controlled robot toys. Currently sells similar products can achieve a variety of functions, such as performing magic, teach children to encode or play games. Star Wars is one of the most famous Sphero company BB-8.
But most robot toys do not have the capacity to learn step by step. Anki's Chief Executive, Boris Zoffman (Boris Sofman) pointed this out.
Zoffman says, "now many products do exist, their position is to become pets, toy robots or robot partner. But they lack the ability to really observe and understand the environment. ”
Anki Cozmo was given a masher personality this personality driven by artificial intelligence. It can learn to recognize familiar faces and play Quick Tap and other games.
When Cozmo loses a game, it will go up, show anger expression on his face, and the falling blocks. When you win, it likes to show off, and wrung through several wheels, holding his "arm", also sent his voice.
Zoffman, "says it wants to be a Jedi master, but it is not good enough, it had to learn skills, so we need your help. ”

Anki wants Cozmo moved to the big screen in the future, and he envisions some robot friend, perhaps in the future might take a weekly episode of the series.
Zoffman said, "we are seeking to create the Studio's right to produce interactive characters and stories. ”
For some applications to collect and may disclose the user data concerns Zoffman said that Cozmo only paired with the individual users of smartphones, mobile phone information is not a drain.
迷你版瓦力：Cozmo机器人会发脾气会炫耀 - 机器人 - IT资讯
8月6日消息，据路透社报道，Cozmo微型机器人是旧金山机器人初创公司Anki的最新产品，它仅手掌大小，配备了传感器、电机和视觉功能，需通过智能手机进行控制。Anki制造的产品还有Overdrive智能玩具赛车。
皮克斯作品《机器人总动员》中的清扫型机器人瓦力因一脸无辜的表情和对伊娃的一片痴心虏获了不少观众的心。而Cozmo的形象与之很类似，堪称迷你版的瓦力。
Cozmo将在10月开售，价格为179美元，参与设计工作的有一名曾在皮克斯供职的动画师。
Cozmo并不是第一款由智能手机控制的机器人玩具。目前在售的同类产品可实现各种功能，如表演魔术、教孩子编码或玩游戏。其中最闻名的当属Sphero公司的星球大战BB-8机器人。
但是大多数机器人玩具都不具备逐步学习的能力。Anki首席执行官鲍里斯-索夫曼(Boris Sofman)指出了这一点。
索夫曼说，“现在确实存在许多产品，它们的定位是成为宠物、玩具机器人或机器人伙伴。但它们都缺乏真正观察和理解环境的能力。”
Anki赋予了Cozmo一种嬉皮笑脸的个性，这种个性由人工智能驱动。它能学会辨认熟悉的面孔以及玩Quick Tap等游戏。
当Cozmo输了游戏，它会发脾气，脸上表露出愤怒的表情，并且摔积木。赢的时候，它喜欢炫耀，通过几个轮子打转转，高举自己的“手臂”，还发出得意的声音。
索夫曼表示，“它想成为绝地大师，但还不够格，它得学习各项技能，所以需要你的帮助。”
索夫曼指出，“当我们观看皮克斯、梦工厂等公司制作的电影，欣赏这些令人难以置信的角色时，我们开始问自己，怎样才能在现实生活中活灵活现地创造一个类似的角色。”
Anki公司希望将来能把Cozmo搬上大银幕，并为他设想了一些机器人朋友，或许未来可能拍摄一周一集的连续剧。
索夫曼说，“我们正在争取创立工作室的经营权，以制作互动式的角色和故事。”
对于某些应用收集并可能泄露用户数据的担忧，索夫曼说，Cozmo只与个人用户的智能手机配对，手机的信息并不会外流。
