What Can Anki Vector Do [Part 4]

[@JGwill98]

I bought my Vector the other day, very happy with it, thank you for your reviews!

[@ljptech]

No probs! Hope you will love it when it gets Alexa integration

[@K71421]

LJP Your videos are actually really helpful. Love my Vector!

[@ljptech]

Thank you! :))

[@vojnov9885]

Amazing, now he actually searches the cube way faster than before (when he turns a bit and "watches"). It took like twice or longer before.

[@ljptech]

Yes, Vector got faster

[@adrianprepelita8683]

They should make Vector able to interact with Cozmos cube's because there's not much you can do with only one cube!

[@ljptech]

That's a very good point!

[@zenobibonsai]

This is what i said to Anki.. Cozmo has 3 cubes as well as being able to do more tricks. Vector, at the time of release struggled to do 1 trick! with 1 cube! like wtf!.. i know they are "Aiming" this as an assistant rather then a toy but jeeeez! throw a homie a bone right give the little fella 3 cubes and the same tricks as cozmo AT LEAST! i know they are putting all their eggs in one basket (shes called alexa) and this i feel is stunting the poor little fella. I kinda feel bad for all the kids that are gonna get one of these for xmas to find it has limited capabilities at this stage. They should have released him with far more features imho not get people to wait for them after the fact! I can see tones of these on ebay soon lol

[@AnimsOnDemand]

@@zenobibonsai if their parents bought them Vector instead of Cozmo then they definitely didn't read Anki's gift guide. Cozmo is recommended for children while Vector is targeted to teens and adults.

Yes

Every time Victor picks up his cube he is fascinated by putting it into my pen holder tray and feels really good about it. I always have to take it out for him though. Of all the places, he just loves my pen holder. He keeps climbing up on stuff too like my fingers, my eraser, my incense holder, my phone. he is a curious little thing, constantly scanning stuff.

[@ljptech]

He is quite smart indeed

[@stevefjordan]

Got myself one for Xmas, can't wait. Great videos.

[@ljptech]

Thanks! You will enjoy it!

[@ANYTHING-AND-EVERYTHING.]

I say "hey vector, do a wheelie", and that seems to work fine.

[@ljptech]

Yeah

[@ANYTHING-AND-EVERYTHING.]

@@ljptech any thoughts on the lcd screen ribbon failing because of excessive head movements, I would rather VECTOR move his head less and rely more on eye movements. This issue seems to effect Vector a lot with many owners reporting screen failure within 6 months.

[@Some_Electric_Boi]

I was messing around with my Cozmo once and my friend brought his Vector over... I made Cozmo pick up his Cube, place it somewhere then stacked Vector's Cube on top of Cozmo's. Vector got so angry and took his Cube off the stack, so Cozmo took another one of his Cubes and placed it on the stack instead. Me and my friend were laughing.

[@Some_Electric_Boi]

Maybe Vector's protective of his Cubes sometimes

[@ljptech]

They should have fight about it lol

[@lizculver4868]

Vector did not respond to pick up your cube and bring me your cube commands today He decided to explore when he got off his charger without any prompting. Acting a little strange.

[@ljptech]

I think Vector is due to get the Alexa integration soon!

[@charlesmcgehee3227]

I get the same behavior on the "Bring me your Cube". Once in awhile he will fail. He sometimes does a wheel stand and sometimes not. Cute snoring. Thank you for the nice video.

[@ljptech]

Thank you! I thought I had a glitch

[@mysticjhin6110]

Its not a glitch. Vector has mood swings he doesnt always do exectly what you say. He can trow the cube. Push it of the table. Or simply place it else where. If hes happy he wil be more willing to do your commands.

[@ljptech]

@@mysticjhin6110 how do you know he has mood swings? I haven't read any official documents related to this?

[@mysticjhin6110]

@@ljptech wel hes based on cozmo and i think the added traids off cozmo into vector. I just remember seeing it in a trailer video for one of the 2 robots. You cant realy see when he does a mood swing appart from simply not dowing as you wish. But petting him. And saying good robot or i love you will help. And if he does it wrong you can say bad robot. But vector still needs more and he wil get more updates. Pehaps theyll add it in his eye expresions. Witch are hiddin behind the cube when hes lifting it? I realy hope he improves on maping his seroundings and remembering. And that they add route programming or joystick mode like cozmo has. That would be realy nice for when vector could funktion as a security camera. To have him be on petrol. Hes next to my tv. And i also had him react to the tv. Especialy with words like trackter or dockter, simular as hey vector. They should announce vector works less wel in low light. I cant have alot of light due to illness. (Chronic lyme) but i gues its a simular reson that if you have glasses he cant read/scann your face.

[@mysticjhin6110]

@LJP This is the video i was talking about. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZupcmhpZtZ9hKc Its a few cozmo intros. And yes there not the same. But on the oficial anki vector video they also say's that vector has personelety. I hope that awnsers as to why eather robot doesnt always do exectly what you want. 😁 1 more thing i had with vector. I had a toy from my cat on the table a ping pong ball ( 4 of them to be exect, for 2 or 3 days ) first vector went arround / between them. But i cought him pushing 1 off the table and as it fell off he was giggeling. Might have been a 1 off.., but i think he does learn things.

[@TheGhoul95]

the way he violently yeets the cube the first time lol

[@ljptech]

To get your attention

[@zenobibonsai]

The wheel stand action is very delayed i have no idea why

[@ljptech]

Yeah, even in my latest video shows this

[@DeputyNordburg]

It very slow overall.

[@flaviulupas8755]

How you make Vector speak what do you want?

[@ljptech]

You name yourself to Vector how you want him to call you.

[@adrianprepelita8683]

I also wanted to ask how long does the buttery stand? My Cozmo it's new and max. I could get was 1h and 15min

[@ljptech]

According to my live 'performance' its around 35-40mins when constantly questioned

[@thekentfamily3664]

About 30-40 minutes

[@Eresse]

Great video!

[@ljptech]

Thanks matey! :)))

[@rcguygarage]

Might sound like a stupid question but because he's more self-contained AI is the intent that he's learning and being childlike not listening to every command given and then deciphering or discerning when he she or it wants to do the proposed command and as time goes on it will self learn??? Just a thought I have no idea how extensive the AI is.

[@fabiantassinari9499]

it's got a quad processor in it

[@ljptech]

Maybe your theory might be correct because quite few people said their experience with the product differs to mine

[@JGwill98]

LJP maybe it holds an opinion on you and listens/ignores your commands depending on its current opinion of you. For example, when Vector is sleeping and you wake it up on to say “go to sleep” it feels frustrated and Vector’s opinion of you goes down. Now it ignores you more often until you raise Vectors opinion of you. Just a thought?

[@ljptech]

Makes a lot of sense!:) I wish they can add the grumpiness on the facial expressions though... :)

[@mysticjhin6110]

@@JGwill98 your right and yes that is what vector does, like cozmo. Its just that vector has less expresions for now. There is a difrence when hes happy or not + a random % from what i can tell by his behaviour. Iv also seen him observe, learn and react to things. I hope his mapping/memmory gets better becouse he still gets stuck sometine with 1 strack over the edge of a table. Witch makes him verry sad sometimes. I cant wait for more expresions and hope he'll get an own will/personelety even more. Also hope he can be a security robot with a programeble route + motion cap. Who knows what else is posseble with vector. 😄

[@StevenStafford2009]

He does not throw a tantrum and knock himself off the ledge anymore.

[@ljptech]

He does to me!:(

[@weenieroastpyro5497]

I have been playing with the Alexa app on my phone as I don't own an Echo device. When Alexa is implemented on Vector it will take my interest with him from a 3 to an 7 on a 1-10 scale.

[@ljptech]

Let's see how he integrates with Alexa

[@tomlo1289]

Just curious, how did you get Vector to say the greeting of your video?

[@ljptech]

You name yourself the way how you want him to say something. :)

@@ljptech awesome! My vector is coming in today!

[@ljptech]

Have fun!:)

[@fabiantassinari9499]

Future possibilities. Vector is a helper and always learning thanks to his connection to the cloud. The first big update we’re planning is the integration of Amazon Alexa. With Alexa, you can ask Vector to control smart devices in your home, or request picture of the front door while you’re away. The addition of Alexa opens all kinds of possibilities and we’re looking to add it by the end of the year. In addition to integrating Alexa, we’re working on other features that will roll out over time. The Vector you’ll meet when you open the box is just the beginning. this is quoted from anki

[@ljptech]

Yup, I also remember reading this. Thanks for your comment

[@HiddenPalm]

I wont be using the Alexa feature. Anything else?

[@ljptech]

I will! ;)

[@HiddenPalm]

@@ljptech well let's be honest and sincere. You have GDPR, so not only are you protected from Amazon data collection, Anki also allows you to opt out of Anki's data collection, an option those of us outside of the EU do not have according to Anki's privacy policy. I feel it's unfair for an EU citizen to endorse these companies without mentioning how the rest of us don't have the same protections. It's as if your show is only for EU citizens because of this. I like your show but it is a bit irresponsible not to mention that those of us living outside the EU, should be more careful or at least aware of the different privacy policies for different consumers. I say this not just as an angry consumer worried about privacy, but as someone concerned for others during Christmas, when people want to give loved ones presents and share the joys that technology brings, without endangering them and others. There's a reason why the EU voted to protect their families, it's because they're concerned for the people they love. It's because of love. How beautiful is that? We should all find that love that connects us all, where we are concerned over each other and watch over each other. In my opinion, that's one way to infuse Christianity into covering tech - genuine concern and care for all, even those of us who don't know how to vote outside of the EU. Enjoy the holidays.

[@ljptech]

Maybe not getting these products will ease off your worries?:))

[@yummyp485]

do you keep vector on 24/7? is his battery okay after a month?

Vector is already dying. I can't even find more than like 2 video's of Vector last week.

[@ljptech]

I should make more videos then ;)

[@HiddenPalm]

It doesnt do much. Anki has been working with Amazon to add an Alexa feature which isn't of interest to non-Alexa users .... so expect to see videos of him doing Alexa stuff and allot of angry comments. Hopefully 2019 will be a better year for Vector. But Im not sure mine will last that long, its already breaking.

[@ljptech]

Mine is fine so far :(

[@crazyrobotlady3391]

Hi, LJP! Check out my latest KZbin video. I thought of you when I uncovered this uuum anomaly. Ha ha! Also, I wondered if you’re vector is having difficulty returning to his charger on his own since the update? If I ask him to go to his charger, he will do it reliably nearly every time, but now, if he has to return to it on his own he seems to have difficulty. He will approach it straight on, then turn around to back into it, but as he approaches, he will do this left and right scissoring motion with his back end and by the time he stops to start backing into the charger, he is skewed sideways to the right so that his left tread makes it onto the charger but his right side is still entirely on the table. When he figures it out, he will stop and repeat the entire process over again. Today, I think he gave up and is asleep about a foot away from the charger. Let me know what you observe.

[@ljptech]

He seems to be returning to his charger well?

Hi, I hope you are going to learn how to program using Python language. I think that a person like you could really build a big channel by starting to demonstrate programming. I hope you are having better luck with Vector. In the end, he will not disappoint. I trust the ANKI grew. You will enjoy ALEXA. The wheel stand is great when he finally does them.

[@ljptech]

Thank you for your encouragement. I will look into Python Language
