    Gadgets I found at the Time To Play Magazine Holiday Show.

    Anki, the robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) company, now introduces Cozmo, the little robot with a big brain and even bigger personality. Anki says Cozmo is born to play. He is charming, a bit mischievous, and unpredictable. He recognizes and remembers you. He interacts with you, plays games, and gets to know you over time. Powered by advanced robotics, AI, and computer vision, Cozmo has a brain that processes more data per second than all the Mars Rovers combined. Robots with comparable capabilities are found in labs for thousands of dollars and stand several feet tall. More than three hundred parts make up this robot that fits in the palm of your hand. Cozmo is constantly scanning his environment and recognizes people while reacting to emotions. His eyes light up when he sees a familiar face. If you haven’t played with him in a while, he’ll nudge you to play one of a handful of games. If you beat him, he might sulk. (What a minute! I spent $179.99 and I get a toy that might sulk??) Cozmo may be a supercomputer on treads, but playing with him isn’t super complicated. All you need is a compatible iOS or Android device. There are no parts to put together so you can get going right out of the box! You get Cozmo, his charging station and three smart blocks. And built-in LED's too!
