Cozmo communicates with your device via Wi-Fi, broadcasting its own Wi-Fi network that you’ll need to connect to each time you want to interact and play with Cozmo - you’ll see the Wi-Fi password on Cozmo’s face the first time you set him up. The result is that Cozmo doesn’t just perform tasks, but actually “expresses itself” in the form of face-like animations on the OLED display and cute little noises that convey emotions like delight, curiosity, frustration, and more.Ĭozmo is designed to work in tandem with his companion iOS app, which provides most of Cozmo’s interactivity and intelligence. The development process behind Cozmo also makes for an interesting story in its own right although Anki was originally founded by three Carnegie Mellon Robotics Institute graduates, in putting together Cozmo the company realized that to give the robot an engaging personality, it would be necessary to expand its horizons beyond artificial intelligence experts and mechanical engineering teams to also include world-class animators, sound engineers, and game designers.
The OLED display is also capable of displaying over 1,000 animations.
#ANKI COZMO CODE#
Anki tells us that Cozmo is made up over 340 individual parts, and run by 1.4 million lines of code from the companion iOS app.
The Cozmo package also includes a charging base and USB power adapter and three cubes that function as Cozmo’s toys and are used to engage in several interactive games with Cozmo. Cozmo is a small tread-wheeled robot about the size of a hamster with a forklift like arm on the front, a head that tilts up and down and an OLED screen where Cozmo’s digital eyes - and much of its personality - appears.
