Vector 2.0 AI Robot: Is it Worth Buying?

Vector is still very much alive, but it has had an interesting journey to be sure. Let’s take a look at the turbulent history of this neat little robot and the current iteration of Vector 2.0.

The original Vector was released in August 2018. Anki billed it as its second-generation AI robot, and it improved on Cozmo in a lot of ways.

The History of Vector

The next generation of Vector, Vector 2.0, promises to keep much of the same hardware and capabilities of the original but with some improvements.

Vector 2.0

All in all, Vector is just a cool toy with some amazing applications for hobbyists and tinkerers. For those who have Vector already getting a Vector 2.0 is probably a given.
