![]() I don’t know if this is slightly exaggerated or not yet. This is a huge improvement and I hope the feature is added early on in to the SDK. This will hopefully be a thing of the past now that the Anki Vector has 4 drop sensors. That said, every time I hear that telltale SMACK I freeze. Our students learning Python in our Robotics Classes for Kids and Teens constantly drive Cozmo off the table. Hopefully whey they release the Anki Vector SDK in Python the computer vision algorithms we write with tools like OpenCV happen on the computer. I have a feeling that he can handle his own functions very well on the Qualcomm chip. We’ll see how well Vector can handle real time computer vision with the higher resolution of this HD Camera. Sounds like we get a higher resolution here. This allows Cozmo to hear voices and other noises, and also know what direction they came from. Why does it matter that it’s a microphone array instead of just a microphone? Glad you asked! This was a feature I wanted so badly, and here it is! Vector has not only a microphone, but an advanced microphone array. Just a random example, you can now pet Vector and in your program you write in the SDK you could probably make him purr. This is capacitive so it essentially feels the electrical variance your hand causes. This is not mechanical so you don’t have to push hard enough to engage a button. Even if you are pressing gently, it will probably register the touch. This will allow Vector to know if he is being touched by a hand for example. Rejoice! Inside Vector – Capacitive Touch SensorĪnki Vector will sport a Capacitive Touch Sensor. We also talked about this problem in our article on the Cozmo SDK in Python. You no longer need to buy a fleet of tablets or phones to teach amazing Python for Kids. But for educators it’s a complete gamechanger. Though this is cool and all, it really does open up a world of possibilities.įor one thing, by having the Qualcomm chip inside Vector, we can now offload all the processing from the phone you needed for Cozmo.įor single users this is nice. Compare this to Cozmo’s single core 100MHz brain, the Arm Cortex 4. This processor is called the Qualcomm Snapdragon, it has 4 cores, and clocks in at 1.2GHz. This brain is well over an order of magnitude better than the processor that was inside Cozmo. Inside the Anki Vector is a Qualcomm 200. ![]() ![]() We’ll go through each feature of what they show in the video before moving on to some of the other sources of information we have.
