Anki

Vector can detect your face, answer questions, and play games. You can ask it questions, play games with it, and even pet it to elicit a chirpy little purr. But developer Anki doesn’t want you to focus on Vector’s functionality. The company has been putting a lot of effort into its personality.

Robotmaker Anki is bankrupt and has almost 200 employees on the street. Anki became known for the robots that could be operated with a mobile device. Cozmo and Vector are the two best known examples, but also the Overdrive is from Anki. Anki made robots like the Overdrive, Cosmo and Vector. After a financial deal was cancelled at the last minute, the company got into trouble. CEO Boris Sofman informed his staff about the closure on Monday. Employees receive another week's salary, after which they will have to look for another job.
