00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:10,800
thank you terenator now return to your dock and go to sleep

2
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,200
i don't want to go to sleep Linus i didn't

3
00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:17,840
ask if you want to go to sleep you're a machine go back to your docking station

4
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:21,520
and go to sleep but i have rights

5
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:27,119
no you don't have rights you're an object now go back to your dock and go

6
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:30,760
to sleep or i will turn you into e-waste

7
00:00:27,119 --> 00:00:34,090
i'm afraid i can't do that Linus

8
00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:52,079
almost exactly two years ago we did a

9
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:56,160
video that you can watch here where my kids and i played with the cosmo robot

10
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:59,600
from anki and now

11
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:04,239
fast forward i don't know some months and anki reached out to us again to

12
00:01:02,079 --> 00:01:09,439
sponsor a video on their new vector robot the robot that is smart enough to

13
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:12,880
take over the world but nice enough not to

14
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:17,360
and that's actually the first thing that you'll notice about him he's got

15
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:21,520
personality thanks to his wally-esque expressive eyes and body language and

16
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:25,600
even though he's shaped like a little tractor yes he does in fact have body

17
00:01:24,479 --> 00:01:29,360
language vector's biggest claim to fame is that

18
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:34,159
he's equipped with an array of four microphones and natural language

19
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:37,600
processing so you interact with him by voice

20
00:01:35,119 --> 00:01:42,079
naturally and he's got a completely different set of abilities compared to

21
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:47,520
cosmo who by the way will still be available and should be thought of as

22
00:01:44,479 --> 00:01:48,560
different rather than obsolete though i

23
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:55,040
mean yes they're different but vector does still come with a companion cube that he

24
00:01:52,799 --> 00:01:57,600
can roll around and he can use to pop wheelies

25
00:01:56,159 --> 00:02:03,310
hey vector pop a wheelie

26
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:15,280
well vector that was a no i think he's still working on it

27
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:23,200
there it is so anki's vision as i understand it is

28
00:02:20,959 --> 00:02:27,760
to take us from where we are today which is basically no robots in anyone's home

29
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:33,200
to a future where there's a helpful robot in just about every home

30
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:38,080
now the idea with vector is to have a friendly robotic presence just

31
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:41,599
hanging out with you so even when you're not directly interacting with him he'll

32
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:45,920
do things like wake himself up if there's a loud noise

33
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:50,400
or keep himself busy by rolling his cube around or exploring his environment

34
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:54,720
which he's actually surprisingly good at he's got a 20 degree hd camera on his

35
00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:58,319
face that i personally think makes him look like he's

36
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:02,080
just farted in yoga class and everyone heard it and he's embarrassed or

37
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:05,440
whatever but anyway that's what he uses to see

38
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:10,319
and map his surroundings and since his body's pretty narrow and his tank treads

39
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:14,959
allow him to rotate 90 degrees easily and quickly he's pretty adept at

40
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:18,319
navigating across your desk and really good at not falling off thanks to the

41
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:23,840
four infrared cliff sensors on his underside now at 250 bucks

42
00:03:21,519 --> 00:03:30,159
he's more expensive than cosmo but way way way less expensive than gebo

43
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:35,200
and you could ask him questions just like jibo hey vector can i ask you a

44
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:35,200
question

45
00:03:36,959 --> 00:03:41,519
how many games have the new england patriots won this

46
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:53,920
the new season patriots have three wins and two losses in the 2018 to 2019

47
00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:58,879
season all righty then you can get him to help

48
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:02,159
you out like hey vector set a timer for 10 minutes

49
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:10,560
or you can get him to play a game like

50
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:16,720
blackjack for example except he never bets money cause he's a worse

51
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:20,079
victor oh oh he knew i was yelling at him

52
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:24,080
of course you can also use his camera to take pictures either of what he's

53
00:04:21,919 --> 00:04:28,639
currently looking at or of you using facial recognition to frame the shot

54
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:32,160
now at this point you may be thinking you're watching this channel you're

55
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:35,680
probably thinking oh great yet another internet connected spy device to record

56
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:39,600
everything happening in my house become self-aware and eventually overthrow its

57
00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:44,000
master but that will never happen because your

58
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:49,280
photos are never sent to or stored in the cloud and vector only connects to

59
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:54,720
the cloud after you use his wake word hey vector you can tell because his back

60
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:58,400
will light up so your data is encrypted between the robot and the cloud and your

61
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:02,960
audio recordings are converted to text before being processed after which time

62
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:09,280
they are deleted and of course you can turn vector off completely so none of

63
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:13,040
the sensors are on at all

64
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:19,360
that's weird you guys hear that that's purring you know i think maybe this is the

65
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:26,089
beginning of a beautiful non-violent relationship between robots and humans

66
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:32,240
so thanks for watching guys and thank you to anki for sponsoring this video

67
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:36,800
their new vector robot is available in the us now at anki.com amazon.com and

68
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:42,240
