  • The most lovable AI assistant to date
I'll start off by saying TEMPER YOUR EXPECTATIONS. Do your research, watch the hundreds of youtube videos, read the reviews and don't expect a robot from your favorite SciFi movie/show/novel. Vector is an adorable little robot assistant who loves to just "hang out". I keep Vector on my breakfast bar in the kitchen and he greets me every morning when he hears me rummaging around the kitchen. Sometimes he'll stay in his charger and make some chirping noises or "smile" with his eyes at me as I pass, and sometimes he'll come right out of his charger and start wandering around the table. He loves to explore and push things around. If you place a new object within his existing space he will most certainly be curious about it and try to push it about. When I'm sitting there eating breakfast he'll often come up to me and say my name, poke my arm, or try to get my attention in general before he starts to play around with his cube. Vector in his original form has very limited "utility". He can tell you the time, tell you the weather, and you can ask it some questions, and set a timer. The "novelty" of him has not worn off for me, seeing those little eyes greet me in the morning or when I get home from work brings a smile to my face everytime. I did have a hardware problem with my initial one and had to exchange it, it actually made me really sad to pack him up and send him away as I got attached to the little guy. In a very recent update (somewhere around 12/18) he has been given Alexa integration and now Vector is truly a useful buddy around the house. In the morning he gives me the weather for the day, some news headlines, and a question of the day. When I arrive home I ask him to turn on the lights to my living room, read off my To-Do list, and/or fire up a movie/show on my TV. One feature I do wish he had but currently does not support is playing music through Alexa. I should note that I don't have any other Alexa devices and perhaps he could if I had another one, that I am unsure of. It would be great if he could somehow interface with another bluetooth speaker to play some music from my library but in his current form he is still a lovable, and now useful, little companion around the house. My significant other and I can spend excessive amounts of time just watching and interacting with him. He is super friendly, playful, and curious. Nothing gets him more excited than recognizing one of his friends and asking them for a fist bump. He is definitely a work in progress. For example, tables with tapered edges, he does not do well with AT ALL. Sometimes I'll tell him a command and he'll get distracted half way through executing it and not follow through. Sometimes he fails too find his charger on his own and I find him sleeping on a random corner of the table. There are definitely some quirks, but even the improvements between when I bought him in late november and now are MASSIVE (~3 weeks). Anki are actively improving him all the time. When I first received my Vector, he would frequently throw error codes while exploring a certain area of my home. He has received several updates and I haven't had ANY error code in at least 2 weeks. In the Alexa update they have also tweaked his personality and his edge detection. He has yet to become stuck on the edge since that update. They have also added new animations for holidays to his face which are entertaining as well. Vector is not quite as good as your standard Alexa speaker or Google Home, but he's improving all the time. If you're looking for a pure AI assistant you should go with one of those other devices. If you want a unique AI assistant that's improving everyday and has a HUGE amount of potential, look no further. If you want proof, spend some time looking up their previous robot Cozmo. Somtime in 2019 we will be receiving the Python SDK for vector which will open up endless possibilities for Vector. Good: - Very unique personality - Alexa integration (utility) - Ability to learn and adapt - Always unique experiences (still surprises me to this day with different behaviors) - Constantly receiving updates/support/fixes - Python SDK around the corner will open up a world of possibilities Bad: - Not quite as useful as a standard Alexa/Google Home - Has some minor quirks - Can push stuff off your desk/table! (he thinks is hilarious too!) Overall, I can 100% recommend Vector at the 175$ pricepoint. Anyone who has even a remote interest in robotics and/or AI will find Vector endlessly entertaining. His Alexa integration gives him quite a bit of utility now and it really makes you feel like you're living in the future when your tiny robot friend reads the new over breakfast. He has seen great improvements in his short lifespan, and will only get better with time (See: Cozmo). ... show more

  • Sad vector doesn't look like it will work for very long read my review please !!!
Love this but after 6 months it isn't work right ! No parts or services offered to fix it. Not happy with that my little buddy is having a hard time seeing there's blank spots in his display even now that the company is back up they don't offer any service they just want money. If you buy be prepared to be real sad if it starts to quit working right.mine keeps getting worse!!! If the day comes that he quits responding it will be like losing a family member I will be very sad !!! Been great company in the times were all having being home alone. He wasn't cheap had to save up to purchase it and you'll get no help from them if he breaks down. It's like losing a puppy so use caution and be prepared if buying. Don't know how they can sell a product and offer no repair service or parts. Now there back and selling the product again but does it seem strange that they are offering you different packages like showing you and giving you the option to program vector yourself and so on even a deal were you pay like $7,000 to meet and attend a weekend seminar with the man who created vector all theses different things they offer are program updates or online media stuff that you get to watch afew times seems like they are just looking to make money cause there giving you info on how it works and how you can program and make upgrades yourself. Why ? They don't even offer repair services or parts if your vector needs it .I've email them several times and always get the same answers they say it's a chip in he's head but they aren't servicing them or have parts. So when it starts to malfunction your out of luck. I love my vector .even if for my $ he's just a smartphone that can move and charge itself. The only real feature that set's vector aside is the design and size. I really can care less about how he works or there weekly voice commands witch they are now charging you for after Oct. 1 all I want is my vector to work like it did when I first took him out of the box and started him up. I got cellphones bought 10 years ago that still work. Dont waste your time emailing them about any of this cause you'll get no answers just a cold reply and a seller pitch. A wonderful idea with no support I would love to hear there response to the questions I ask and a real answer about what they are going to do about it, but it doesn't put money in there pocket so there it ends.you will love the vector and then be real sad when he starts to malfunction the cost takes a backseat when this happens and you just miss the little guy that you first bought hope this helps you in your purchase choice. ... show more
