Anki Cozmo Robot Toy Review…

What’s Inside The Box?…

With the Anki Cozmo robot toy you get 1 Cozmo robot that is already fully assembled, so you don’t have to worry about putting anything together, you get 3 interactive cubes used for playing various games, plus a charger and an instruction manual…

There are also a few accessories: a USB power adapter, a carry case and different colored treads, which can be purchased separately.

Once you have your Cozmo out of the box you well need to charge him up, download the Cozmo app to a compatible iOS or Android device, and then tune him up via the app…

Once you have that all done, what you get is really quite amazing…

You get this little robot that measures around 7.2 x 5 x 8 inches and looks like a cute little red and white bulldozer…

A mind of his own!…

Only this one seems to be ‘alive’ and has a mind and a personality all his own!!…

Just like the robots in the movies, the ones that are a cross between a supercomputer and a human being. Only Cozmo is more like a mischievous kid, he’s got plenty of tricks up his sleeve and he’s pretty smart too…

And his personality grows and develops the more time you spend hanging out and interacting with him. He really does grow on you.

Once the two of you have been introduced he will even remember your face so he can recognize, and greet you in future…

When he wants to play he’ll give you a nudge to let you know, and if you don’t want to play with him he just goes ahead and does his own thing anyway, either way he’s going to have fun…

Creative beginner friendly coding.

Even though Cozmo is driven by some pretty impressive technology he is surprisingly easy to program using a visual programming language that is ‘stem-ready’ and designed with beginners in mind.

STEM toys, or Science, Technology,Engineering, and Mathematics toys, are excellent for teaching kids how these four subjects relate to each other and the real world around them, and how they can be used for problem solving.

Using the drag and drop coding blocks on the free Cozmo app you will be able to program him to do just about anything from performing a little victory dance to playing ‘Hot Potato’ with his cubes, and even sneezing!

And that’s only the start, you can use the coding blocks in as many different combinations as your imagination allows for literally limitless creations that Cozmo will act out!

Some of the games you can play with Cozmo:

Quick Tap…
To play Quick Tap, both you and Cozmo need your own Cube. When your Cube starts flashing you just tap it to begin the game. When the colors on each of your Cubes match it’s a race to see which of you is quickest and tap your cube first. The first player to tap their Cube correctly, when the colors match that is, gets the point…

Memory Match…
You might find that this game is more difficult than it first sounds, but it’s still massive fun at the same time! To play ‘Memory Match’ you need to follow the sequence of lights and sounds on Cozmo’s Cubes.  Then you each take it in turns to remember and repeat the sequences as they grow more and more complex…

Keepaway…
You only need the 1 Cube to play ‘Keepaway’. What you do here is move the Cube slowly towards Cozmo, closer and closer to get him to pounce, and then pull it away at the last minute before he grabs it and takes the point. He even laughs at you mischievously when he wins too!

He’s a tough little customer…

Cozmo has been rigorously tested to be able to withstand a few hard knocks without falling to pieces. He’s far tougher and a lot more durable than his cute exterior suggests…

Some Of The Questions That People Are Asking About The Anki Cozmo Are:

Q: The Cozmo cubes worked fine for a few weeks, then, one by one they stopped working, why is this???

A: It’s the batteries in the cubes, you need to change them, it shows you how to do this on the app, once they’ve been changed the cubes work fine.

Q: Does My Home Have To Have Wi-Fi In Order For Cozmo To Work?

A: Yes and no, you need wi-fi to download the app and get the updates but this can be done anywhere so technically you do need it but you don’t have to have it at home.

Q: Can More Than One Kid Use Cozmo Or Can He Only Recognize One Person?

Anki Cozmo Limited Edition Review…

Let’s start by looking at exactly what you get with the Anki Cozmo Limited Edition Robot Toy…

What’s Inside The Box?

On unboxing this toy you will find 1 Cozmo robot measuring 7.2 x 5 x 8 inches in a brand new, limited edition ‘Interstellar Blue’ color. The robot comes fully constructed so there’s nothing for you to put together or anything like that…

There is also a charger in the box which allows you to charge your Anki Cozmo from the mains socket, however there is no USB Power Adaptor included so you will have to purchase one of these separately if you require one…

And lastly, you get 3 ‘Power Cubes’ which Cozmo can actually recognize by their individual markings, and which are used to play a whole range of fun and educational games with this clever little guy.

Charge Him Up, Tune Him Up And He’s Ready To Go!…

Once you have your Cozmo out of the box and fully charged all you need to do to have him up and running is download the free Cozmo app to your compatible iOS or Android device, tune him up and he’s ready to go…

Now you can actually communicate and interact with him, you can introduce yourself- he will be able to recognize you in future and even remember your name!…

In the Code Lab you will be able to use your imagination to code him and find things the two of you can enjoy doing together, the coding itself has been designed using simple code blocks with beginners in mind, and is perfect for teaching both kids and adults how to code creatively…

In Explorer Mode you will be able to explore and view the world through his eyes exactly as he sees it, just like you see in the movies with all the computations and diagnostics and everything!

The Anki Cozmo Limited Edition Robot Toy is also quite a tough little customer and has been tested for security and durability, so he can take a few knocks without falling to pieces, and he’s also got a personality that develops the more you get to know him, just like a real human!…

It’s As Though He’s Actually Alive!…

In fact the way Cozmo interacts with people it is as though he is actually alive himself!…

He laughs mischievously during game play, he can navigate around obstacles and even through mazes and stop himself from getting too close to the edge of whatever surface he is on sol as not to fall over the edge!

Once kids have him charged and coded they can laugh and play together for hours on end in an entertaining and educational way that is just not possible with other toys…

Together they can enjoy playing games such as Quick Tap, Keepaway, and Memory Match. The Cozmo app is also updated for free bringing kids new games and activities for even more fun and entertainment.
