 The Cosmo Robot. You might remember it from Luke's tour of Anki's lab where they created it in October of last year. At the time, it was meant to be a durable toy and robot pet. But over the last year, Anki's team of PhD roboticists, animators, and game developers has been hard at work, making it more interactive, more expressive, and more playful, and even adding a block-based programming function called Codelab that is coming in December. So when Anki reached out about sponsoring a video, I figured, yeah, sure, why not? Let's take a look at the progress they've made, but this time, rather than having the tallest member of the Linus Media Group team take a look at it, we would change gears a little bit and have the shortest one take a look. Why don't you sit in this chair? It must be one heavy box, the amount of grunting and groaning. What is this? It's a little robot. Should we get the quick start guide out? Yeah. Hey, darling, you're putting everything back in the package. Oh, you want to put it in. So we've got the Cosmo app right there. Then we need to power up the Cosmo. I need you to put it right on here. Oh, is it turning on? Should I flip the pinks, Dad? Hold on. Searching for Cosmo. Let Comzo inspect the cube on his own. OK, is he going to inspect it? Yeah. Actually, you know what? I'm going to get the pinks. Well done. Comzo would like to meet you. What did it say? Izo man? It said little man. Grab any cube with circling blue lights. Shake that cube until all lights glow brightly. Press the cube where Comzo can see so he can feed himself. Before we go any further, do you guys want to pick a tread color? Yeah, please. OK, which one would you want? Red. And which one do you want? OK, who am I to say no, you can't have one red and one blue? Now you press spark a trick so you can watch Cosmo roll a cube. I think Cosmo is already working on it. So you have filled Cosmo's play need. Each day you need to fill his play need and you'll earn a play token. All right, build a stack of cubes and Cosmo will tip it over. Oh, thank you. Do you want to try a different game? Yeah, please. So this shows you how to set up the game and then you tap if the colors match. Oh, Cosmo screwed up. One more. You got to get one more. Oh, there you go. Cosmo gets pretty upset when he loses, eh? There's a three color mode that you unlock. So whenever you win one of these games, it unlocks more difficult ones. Tempt Cosmo to pounce on a cube, then pull it away before he can. Go, go, go. Did you get it? You got a point. Is it teasing you? Oh, Cosmo got it. So why don't we try the code lab now? So this is code, this is block coding, but with Cosmo. Hey, Cosmo picked up the block and put it over there. Well, yeah, he does that. They're his blocks. I wonder if it still remembers me from when I first tried this a little while ago. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. Discover. Or try and discover, sure. Use your creativity to program Cosmo and explore things you can do together. Explore the world through Cosmo. Oh, oh, this looks cool. So Cosmo has a 30 frame per second VGA camera that it uses to look at its surroundings. So that includes looking for these cubes as well as looking for faces that it recognizes. Whoa, check this out. Human. Hey, you. If you click see inside, it shows you the block codes. It starts the program. Then when the flag is clicked, it broadcasts a message, message one. Cosmo asks for a question. One message one received. Then 19 curious animation. So constructor mode lets you create your own stuff. So you can pick some sample ones. So here, when the flag is clicked, repeat for drive 100 millimeters. So that's 10 centimeters at 50 millimeters per second. Turn 90 degrees at 45 degrees per second. Look at that. So you can program Cosmo using code to do just about anything. Do you want to make Cosmo drive in a bigger square? So do you see the one here that says drive? Yeah. So how many millimeters should we put in there? Should we maybe put 200 millimeters? 200 millimeters? Yeah, because right now it's 100. Want to click 200? So now Cosmo is going to go in a bigger square. Neat, huh? Yeah. It's got all kinds of stuff in here. Like pick random numbers. Set text alignment. Fill rectangle forms. Drawing mode. When cubes are tapped, when faces are seen. Wow, this actually looks quite powerful. We added an animation playing 80s music after the end of each length of our square. So let's see what happens. So it does this, then this, and then it plays our music. Oh, good. It's playing them on top of each other. Do you like 80s music? Do you want to put Cosmo on the charger and then go get ready for trick-or-treating? Yes, please. All right. So final points here. Cosmo is secure. It's actually a point-to-point connection between your phone and the robot itself. So there's no data stored in the cloud whatsoever or anything like that. Codelab, the really powerful block-based programming tool, is coming sometime late in December. And I think that pretty much wraps it up. So thanks to Anki for sponsoring this video. You can check out Cosmo, including the limited edition metallic one, at the links in the video description. And get yourself a fun little toy slash learning tool. That Codelab functionality is actually a lot more powerful than I was expecting. I hadn't seen it until they sent over the early access beta of the app. So go check it out at the link below.
