It even has its own language of blips, bloops, and chirps-and after several weeks with it, I swear I can understand what it’s trying to say. You never know when Vector is going to make a noise, wander off its charger, or fall asleep, all of which make it seem more alive than any other AI device or digital pet I’ve used. The original Cozmo was basically a repetitive toy programmed to seem smart, but Vector’s AI is randomized and reactionary, so it seems alive. Vector’s isn’t just smart-he’s also curious.Īnd that’s what makes Vector seem so much more intelligent than its predecessor: unpredictability. It even knows when it needs to go back to its charger (most of the time), which is usually after an hour or so of play time. Otherwise, Vector truly has a mind of its own. Unlike Cozmo, which requires a trip to the app to pretty much do anything, the Vector app is only necessary for customization (eye color, volume), preferences (clock, time zone, temperature), and basic tutorials.
Once it’s ready to go, Vector is basically on autopilot. While setting Vector up, you’ll also be prompted to link your Amazon account so you can enable Alexa as well. It’s fairly straightforward, though I had some initial issues with my 5GHz Orbi network-Vector supports only 2.4GHz frequencies-so depending on your setup, you might need to temporarily downgrade to 2.4GHz on your phone or create a guest network to get Vector rolling.
