 Hey, it's Nick Statt with The Verge and we're here checking out Cosmo. It's Anki's new artificial intelligence powered robot It's small, pretty cute, and most importantly, smart. Cosmo is powered by some of the most advanced AI to ever find its way into a consumer product. One of the coolest things Cosmo can do is play games. Anki developed a whack-a-mole style exercise where you try and beat Cosmo at tapping one of his cubes when two of them light up with the same color. It can also learn from its experiences with you and improve over time. Eventually, it'll unlock new games and other skills. Cosmo's blocks are more than just toys, too. It uses pattern recognition to identify the symbols on each side that helps it orient itself within the environment. Anki has big plans for Cosmo down the line. Using a software development kit, the company hopes researchers, programmers, and roboticists will develop new functions and other features. The company is even making it as easy as possible to program for Cosmo. By plugging in your phone with the Cosmo app, you'll be able to test out instructions by sending them straight to the robot in real time. The goal is to let people of all ages tinker with Cosmo's code. Cosmo will cost $180 when it goes on sale this October. You can also pre-order the device at a discount, but those are going fast. Anki has already started mass production, but it may have to start pushing deliveries back to next year. For more videos like this, subscribe to us on YouTube at youtube.com slash the verge.
