Well I got the new to me Galaxy S6 phone to assist in running the Vector robot. I installed the app (which is on google playstore despite the bust parent company) and after some faffing about it was switch on moment.
It was just like a little puppy being born, (without the slime and snapping mother obvs). Vector has the cutest big eyes. It makes the sort of noises R2D2 aspires to, it shouts robo pet straight away.
It explores its surrounds with curiosity and care, taking pictures, and indulging in serious edge work. There must be some gadgetry inside this to have such precision and retain the comedy value.
Vector can use its front shovel type thing to interact with stuff and does. I get an impression of character, of mischief. It parks its self like those robot cleaner things and charges up.
The voice recognition and voice placement is good. Very good. I think it learns.
It is in the tradition of £1000 plus Sony Dogs which I never splurged on but always wanted. I wonder what happened to them. Vector is not as shiny, does not say Sony on its head (my sister who bought it would be reassured if it did) and from the beginning its unclear to many what the point is.
To ask this though is to miss the point.
I will update further.
What else?
