Daddy's little helper... Anki Vector Robot is definitely more useful than most home robots

Anki Vector Robot

£249, anki.com?

It’s not やめる the same as the moment a toddler takes its first steps, or when your cat finally learns to not sit on your computer keyboard, but I felt a 急ぐ of paternal pride. ‘Hey Vector, roll your cube,’ I said, and the robot trundled across the 床に打ち倒す and flipped a plastic cube over with its digger attachment.?

‘What’s the 天候?’ I said next, and its 審査する ‘注目する,もくろむs’ turned into 嵐/襲撃する clouds and it intoned, ‘Six degrees centigrade, and 雨の.’?

The Anki Vector Robot. You can command the Wi-Fi-connected robot to ?Come here? (it has face recognition), to take photos, and (oddly) to set kitchen timers

Anki’s Vec tor robot is pitched as ‘the most helpful thing in your home without a heartbeat’. While I wouldn’t 交換(する) it for, say, the にわか雨, it’s definitely more useful than most ‘home’ robots. That’s not hard.?

Robots always look fun, then it turns out you need a PhD in computer science to use them. But even idiots (and children) can 支配(する)/統制する Vector.?

There is an app, but you don?t need it. It even navigates its way back to its charging pad if it?s running low on power, which is the sort of self-sufficiency I admire

There is an app, but you don’t need it. It even navigates its way 支援する to its 非難する pad if it’s running low on 力/強力にする, which is the sort of self-十分なこと I admire

アマゾン is rumoured to be working on an Alexa robot ? so this might be a taste of the 未来. The only problem is it’s not really a toy (it’s £250) ? and it’s not やめる useful enough for me to fool my wife into thinking it’s a 世帯 必須の...?
