How interesting, I wonder what happened in 2010, Miriam Cates of the Conservative party?

Attention Tumblr: Very soon you'll be able to buy a REAL autonomous robot that isn’t crazy expensive!

Somehow I haven’t seen any other posts about this on Tumblr so far, but a company called Anki is making a small “home robot” called Vector.

It’s the successor to Anki’s Cozmo, a similar robot they released a few years ago aimed more at a younger audience, and which needed a smartphone for it’s “brain”. But unlike Cozmo, Vector doesn’t need a smartphone since he’s pretty much got a smartphone built inside of him, and is always on & fully autonomous.

He can recognize faces, tell you the weather, set a timer, and take a picture with his front camera. You can also ask him other questions like you would a voice assistant and he’ll give you an answer.

Also did I mention has touch sensors on top of him so you can pet him?

You won’t have to wait very long to get him either because Vector is releasing in October!  Anki recently finished a successful Kickstarter to pre-order him, but you can still pre-order Vector over on their official site, and also read more info about him: https://www.anki.com/en-us/vector 

He’s retailing for $249.99 at launch, but you can get him cheaper (little over $200) if you pre-order now. That might still be a bit pricey for some, but it’s cheaper than most quality smartphones these days, and certainly less expensive than other home robots on the market right now.

If you’ve ever dreamed of have a real robot in in your house without breaking the bank, you should support Anki and help give Vector a good home. He may be a small robot, but he might be the next big leap in robotics!

I should at this point reintroduce the wonderful smolrobots Murderbot and ART!

Commissioned by me from @smolrobots on Twitter!

One of my favourite ever commissions!

Murderbot, the debate:

HotBot or not?

Small robots add to the discourse:

Reading the notes something so many people are missing is that Smolrobots is from the UK (and is really good people) where the Tories are actually trying to bring in a law to ban under 18's from having phones/social media. Now they're going to get obliterated at the GE, but they're sold it in such a "think of the children!" way it's wouldn't surprise me if Labour carry it forward in some way or other.

i hate to break it to you but you missed the point of this post. these are rhetorical questions with answers that are what you've described. the point of the post is to use rhetorical questions as a framing device to explain why kids don't "just go outside". smolrobots is not surprised as to why kids don't go anywhere and i think it's callous and vicious to say we should "normalise not being nice" and imply this behaviour will get them throat punched
