![]() Written in Python, Cozmo’s SDK provides developers access to multiple capabilities, from the wheels of the robot to the expression on its face, and even to its computer vision technology.Īlthough it’ll be released to the general public in beta this October, Anki is initially focused on making the SDK work for students, makers, hackers, and researchers. “Nothing easy for general usage,” Tappeiner said. Adding face recognition, path planning, and a 3D world model requires hundreds of thousands of lines of code just to make it possible. Tappeiner said that the problem people have when writing for robots is when you really want it to do something that’s beyond executing a blinking light, saying “hello world,” or moving in a linear direction. As VentureBeat’s Dean Takahashi described it, it’s “something like Eve the robot in Pixar’s Wall-E animated film.” Anki cofounder and president Hanns Tappeiner explained that when the company began prototyping its toys, it discovered that people cared a great deal about the character and personality and that it didn’t have to necessarily be in a car. Both Cozmo and the SDK will be available in October.Ĭozmo is a playful, intelligent robot with an essence of artificial intelligence. ![]() Ī couple of weeks after pulling back the curtains on its smart toy called Cozmo, today Anki announced that it will also be releasing a developer SDK in beta that lets anyone tap into the power of this robot, including its sensors, computer vision, and path and motion planning capabilities. We're thrilled to announce the return of GamesBeat Summit Next, hosted in San Francisco this October, where we will explore the theme of "Playing the Edge."
