Thank You Terra Nader now return to your dock and go to sleep I don't want to go to sleep light us I didn't ask if you want to go to sleep in your machine go back to your docking station gooth sleep but I have rights no you don't have rights you're an object now go back to your dock and go to sleep or I will turn you into e-waste I'm afraid I can't do that Linus almost exactly two years ago we did a video that you can watch here where my kids and I played with the Cosmo robot from unki and now fast-forward I don't know some months and Anki reached out to us again to sponsor a video on their new vector robot the robot that is smart enough to take over the world but nice enough not to and that's actually the first thing that you'll notice about it he's got personality thanks to his wall-e ask expressive eyes and body language and even though he's shaped like a little tractor yes he does in fact have body language vectors biggest claim to fame is that he's equipped with an array of four microphones and natural language processing so you interact with him by voice naturally and he's got a completely different set of abilities compared to Cosmo who by the way will still be available and Jim is different rather than obsolete though I mean yes they're different but vector does still come with a companion cube that he can roll around and he can use to pop wheelies hey vector Pappa wheelie well vector that was a no I think he's still working on it so um keys vision as I understand it is to take us from where we are today which is basically no robots in anyone's home to a future where there's a helpful robot in just about every home now the idea with vector is to have a friendly robotic presence just hanging out with you so even when you're not directly interacting with him he'll do things like wake himself up if there's a loud noise or keep himself busy by rolling his cube around or exploring his environment which is actually surprisingly good at he's got a 20 degree HD camera on his face that I personally think makes him look like he's just farted in yoga class and everyone heard it and he's embarrassed or whatever but anyway that's what he uses to see and map his surroundings and since his body's pretty narrow and his tank treads allowed him to rotate 90 degrees easily and quickly he's pretty adept at navigating across your desk and really good at not falling off thanks to the four infrared cliff sensors on his underside now at 250 bucks he's more expensive than Cosmo but way way way less expensive than G Bo and you can ask him questions just like gee Bo hey vector can I ask you a question how many games have the New England Patriots won this season all righty then you can get him to help you out like hey vector set a timer for 10 minutes or you can get him to play again like blackjack for example except he never bets money because he's a Lewis sorry vector Oh oh you knew I was yelling at him of course you can also use this camera to take pictures either of what he's currently looking at or of you using facial recognition to frame the shot now at this point you may be thinking you're watching this channel you're probably thinking oh great yet another internet-connected spy device to record everything happening in my house become self-aware and eventually overthrow its master but that will never happen because your photos are never sent to or stored in the cloud and vector only connects to the cloud after you use his wake word a vector you can tell because his back will light up so your data is encrypted between the robot and the cloud and your audio recordings are converted to text before being processed after which time they are deleted and of course you can turn vector off completely so none of the sensors are on at all that's weird you guys hear that that's purring you know I think maybe this is the beginning of a beautiful nonviolent relationship between robots and humans so thanks for watching guys and thank you to on key for sponsoring this video their new vector robot is available in the US now a donkey on amazon.com at Best Buy and you can check it out at the link below my kids would love this thing
