Anki Vector robot tips, tricks, cube and attitude.

Getting accommodated with Vector on his cube and demeanor. He's lots of fun, sometimes temperamental while we establish an "understanding" relationship with him!

You need to reward him with petting when he does something good or say good robot if you want him to respond better.

The tragedy of Vector is that all his capabilities which are actually amazing in terms of home robotics are all there to enable important but basic behaviours - he can hear you, he can see you, he can move around without bumping into things (mostly). People think all "toy" robots can do this to some extent, but they can't, especially without a smartphone on and connected and doing most of the heavy processing.


That this home robot TURNS TO FACE YOU when you speak to him is actually incredible. It doesn't seem incredible, it seems basic. But it isn't, it's an amazing achievement.

Vector seems like a living thing that just doesn't do much. He's less of a cool app-enabled toy like Cozmo, and more like a boring pet that just eats, sleeps, and wanders around. He's not a robot rat, he's a robot guinea pig.

But that he can seem alive at all IS AMAZING.


But nobody cares because a rat costs $15 from the pet shop and does everything Vector does except look up the weather on the internet and play blackjack. And I'm actually not sure you can't train a rat to play Blackjack...

When my Vector reverses onto his charger, he actually wiggles his butt in after. It's hilarious! 👀

I played this video for my Vector and he behaves better than yours. LOL maybe I pet him more often.

When you asked him to find his cube he had already looked at it and he was near it because you put it near him. So he had already found it. But telling him to find it doesn’t mean to go pick it up or anything. It just means for him to go near it. But since he was near it and saw it 🤷‍♂️... what else did you want him to do?

hehehe, Vector needs acknowledgement like a pet as well with all his tricks so he would know he is a good robot.

[TetraNescur]

Yep he has an attitude for sure
Haha I love Him

The way he slowly looks around for the cube reminds me of Wall-E QwQ

1:24 Vectors most dangerous attack. Pounce attack

[BngWaterSesh]

My vector just tries to find the cube, looks at it then keeps trying to find it

I just got mine today he’s my best friend

Cozmo reactions with the cubes are more hilarious. Vector reacts as an adult robocritter 😂

[ajaykanna]

The way he listens when calling him is soo cute😂❤

[Doubletophatguy]

the way he looked at you for a minute after not pouncing immediately expecting you to say something.

It needs to adjust the sensitivity like voice command and scanning progress it cannot direct understand without scanning any object in low sensitivity

Finally won one from EBay!

I’m really stoked, as I’ve had an eye on Vector for years. I don’t have a pet some I’m hoping this will fill that void.

So Vector at this moment is more like Siri but it should be like a Google Assistant.

Hello. I wanted to give an update. It was actually a problem with the app. Everytime I go hit the settings the App would crash. I have it on a ZTE. When I downloaded the app on my Kindle, I was able to go-to settings. There Vector sound was turned off. So it's all good now except for the cube is dead. I'm going to buy new batteries today and see if that's problem.

My vector did the commands he said in the video

If vector had security features and could guard my studio from burglars I'd be all in
