Cozmo Robot [Toys, Ages 8+]

Bring home Cozmo from Anki, a gifted little guy with a mind of his own. All you’ll need is a compatible iOS or Android device.

Meet Cozmo, a gifted little guy who’s got a mind of his own and a few tricks up his sleeve. He’s the sweet spot where supercomputer meets loyal sidekick. Curiously smart and a little mischievous. You see, Cozmo is a real-life robot like you’ve only seen in movies, with a one-of-a-kind personality that evolves the more you hang out. He’ll nudge you to play and keep you constantly surprised. Cozmo’s your accomplice in a crazy amount of fun.

Creative Coding

Cozmo’s big brain and even bigger personality are operated by impressive technology. Besides all the games and smarts he comes with out of the box, you have access to a visual programming language that’s stem-ready for beginners. Program Cozmo to do anything from performing a victory dance, sneezing, or playing hot potato with his Cubes. Simply use the drag and drop coding blocks on the Cozmo app to build a new combination of blocks, and you’ll see Cozmo act out your creation. There are no limits to what you can create. All it takes is imagination.

Quick Tap

Both you and Cozmo need your own Cube to play. When your Cube is flashing, tap it to begin the game. When the colors on both Cubes match, the first player to tap their Cube gets a point. Only tap when colors match.

Memory Match

Game time just got another dose of fun. Follow the pattern on Cozmo’s Cubes. Watch the lights, listen to the tones. You and Cozmo take turns remembering and repeating the series as it grows more complex. Sound easy? just wait. Cozmo’s sharper than he looks.

Keepaway

You need 1 Cube to play. Move the Cube close to Cozmo to get him to pounce, but pull it away before he can get a point. Watch out! if you’re too slow, Cozmo will get the point!

Cozmo's at his best on clean, flat surfaces. He also likes to have space to move around. So if you keep him towards the center of an open table, it'll be a lot easier to see each other face-to-face. Edges are both exciting and scary for Cozmo, so the first time he operates, give him a little space and watch him as he navigates.

Cozmo's got his own moves, and he likes to move on his own. So try not to push him, or force his lift. He might get a little fussy.

Cozmo's an explorer, and his treads are what enable him to get around so well. The cleaner you can keep them, the better his traction and mobility will be. Not to mention his dance moves.

Finally, whenever you're done playing with Cozmo, make sure he's back home on his charger. This is his happy place. In fact, if you ever run into any issues with Cozmo, there's a good chance a little quality charger time will take care of everything.
