The editors didn't like
Right now
Vector is still a bit limited in what he can do
But that will improve with time
Final Thoughts
There's not enough to do with it to warrant replacing your Cozmo
Battery life could be better
Often doesn't respond on the first try
Fairly limited set of skills and knowledge
Expensive for a product that's still a work in progress
Knowledge base does not compare to that of Alexa or Google Assistant
Can't link to smart home devices
App isn't great right now
Small delay in listening for commands
Designed mostly to sit passively on your desk
Mobile app is slightly clunky and can't initiate any commands

Vector's charming personality is an absolute delight, The technology and sensors involved are incredibly impressive, Future updates and support means Vector has huge potential
Lacking in features at launch, Really expensive, especially compared to other digital assistants, Constant need for attention can become a little irritating

No app required, Powerful processor, Great fun to use
Its best features are still to come, Build a little too similar to Cozmo
We only scratched the surface of what Vector can do in our short time with it, but it's clear that this is a more sophisticated machine than Cozmo. Anki is pitching it as a family device that, in the near future, should be used in the home much like Googl...
Vector's one of the most exciting gadgets I've seen in a while. He's stuffed full of sensors and tech despite his miniature frame, while his AI seems very promising. My main concern, though, is whether Vector has a clear target audience. His little broth...
