    Amazing little guy... You'll forget it's a robot.

    Maybe it's the ever growing facial expressions. Maybe it's the fact Cozmo can learn your face and spontaneously say your name in an excited manner. Maybe it's the attitude he gets when YOU win a game...or his own version of Anki-English that he speaks...but...whatever the reason, you'll love this little guy! Easy to get started, and we've run him via android phone and via Amazon fire tablet with google apps side-loaded. Like using the tablet for better control in "explore" mode with his camera spying on surroundings. We've left him alone on a table and he's perfectly happy to play...but happier if you play with him. We've not tried the "code lab" where you can program him. Scared to mess something up, and hoping the developers will make it easier for non-programmers to learn how Cozmo's brain works....but glad they have that optin for the TRUE geeks who would want a Cozmo. Surprisingly fun personality, adults and older kids will love playing with him, and the real young kids love to watch! Even the new trick "magic 8 ball" where he answers yes and no questions will have you wondering just how much he really "hears".... Adopt one today.

    I'm a 28 year old auto mechanic with a love for all things tech-related.. when I first heard of Cozmo, I thought "there's no way this thing acts like that, it must be animated.." but after following updates up until launch, I became I believer. I ordered one for my girlfriend and myself, and when we woke him up Christmas morning, it was like meeting your new puppy for the first time. He feels like a living being... his movements, expressions, and excitement when he sees you will make your heart melt! Looking forward to future updates and more development of his SDK programming, Cozmo has a bright future and I recommend EVERYONE (regardless of age) gets one for themselves!

    Truly amazing! Fun and enjoyment for the whole family. This little "learning" robot is like nothing I ever had when I was my kids' age. He has a plethora of emotions, and at times you might tend to forget you're having a conversation with a toy. Electronic puppy...without the mess.

    My granddaughter, Shelby, an only child whose parents recently divorced, asked for Cozmo Robot for Christmas. My son suggested shopping at Toys R Us. But I am loyal to Best Buy so ordered it from Best Buy. Shelby adores her little sister/brother. It responds to her! She taught it to respond to her dad. A precious gift for a lonely little girl.

    This little robot blurs the lines with programming and real personality. I find my self talking to him (yes him) when he shows emotion to certain situations. He completely runs on his own and you interact with him. All his sounds and eye motions really bring him to life. After you "meet him" and register facial recognition with you and other people changes the game. Something about when he sees you and says your name or sees someone else and says their name and shows if he's excited or just knows who they are, is where the guys at anki really made him feel sooo real. I have my 2 year old and 3 year old already in the " meet him " recognition and they play and move his blocks irritating him lol. The app based control Is a leveling up system and keeps you playing and learning / (teaching him ) different games and tricks and really makes you appreciate all the things he can do by unlocking them as you go. I barely got him yesterday and I'm actually excited myself to interact with him. Don't feel like watching tv, playing a video game or playing on social media. This robot plays games with his cubes (and with you ) that come with him and his facial expressions and tantrums (when I beet him in games) are very entertaining enough lol =D He literally pickes up his blocks and throws them a couple of times. Kids will love this toy and the fact that the app/ control hub shows that there is more to come Is really exciting. I actually got this little guy for me cause it seemed really cool and it does impress. Everyone uses the word cute haha. The blocks already have batteries in them and they have different color LEDs in the mm and that's how games are played. His movements are very well thought out as he moves on his own to stack and move blocks / explore. Can't wait If and when they do release more " toys "for him to interact with and with you. You won't regret this robot. It's like nothing you've ever seen before, but only in movies.

    Cozmo - your next pet

    I bought it in store about 3 months ago Here are some my review: Pros: - Set up was fairly simple and painless, and I was able to start playing within 10 minutes of taking him out of the box. - He’s a robot, but it’s easy to feel like he has emotions. The animations that his eyes play, and his subtle movements really go a long way to make him feel more realistic. Cozmo will nudge you to play with him, bring a block up to you and ask you to play a game with him, or even act upset if he can’t accomplish what he’s trying to do. - There are only two games that you can play with Cozmo right now, and he gets better the more you play with him. However, there really needs to be a variation as these two games can get tiring easily. - Cozmo has an “adventure” mode, where you can drive him around like a remote control car and see things through his point of view. This is one of my favorite features of his. - The companion mobile app gives you daily goals to motivate you to interact with Cozmo more. I’ve found that this is mostly why I’ve been play with Cozmo day after day. Cons: - You interact with Cozmo by having the app open, and it is only when the app is open that Cozmo is “alive” and roaming around. This feels really inconvenient for me. I imagined that I would be able to just let Cozmo roam around as I did my own thing, but this can’t happen unless the app is on at all times. This also makes it impossible to takes pictures or videos of Cozmo while playing with him. - The app connects to Cozmo through Cozmo’s own WiFi network, which means you have to disconnect from your correct Wifi / mobile network, and pair with Cozmo. This has prove inconvenient in many instances. Sometimes my phone is still connected to Cozmo and I forget about it, causing my phone to not have internet without me remembering why. Other times it’s simply a hassle to have to connect to a new Wifi network every time I want to play with Cozmo. I wish he was connected through Bluetooth instead. - The 3 cubes that come with Cozmo aren’t rechargeable, so I’m worried that they’ll quickly die without any way to replace their batteries. - I’ve only spent about 2 hours total with Cozmo so far, but it seems like I’ve already unlocked all his available features and games. At first I was very engaged because I wanted to help him unlock more moves and get better at games. However, now that all the moves have been unlocked, I’m less prone to interact with Cozmo.

    Bought this for my 10 year old, she loves it! We first saw it on a Tv show where they were showing this years must have Christmas gifts. Went to Best Buy, not looking for it, and saw that they carried it, of course she was begging for it. it's a bit pricey. She likes the games she gets to play with Cozmo, He first talks like a robot, and the more you play with him the better his voice sounds, a bit more clearer. He recognizes your face and calls you by your name. it was so funny. You can also program him to do different things with his blocks and to say things, he also has emotions that show in his face. P.s Cozmo gets mad when he looses and he throws the cube in anger. Haven't had a problem with him yet, it's almost a month since we bought him.

    Lots of features packed into a small package. The face recognition is great as are the ability to play games. If left alone, it can amuse itself. The only issues I can see is it needs to be used in a controlled environment where it won't fall into the floor and not be around people and children and pets who are destructive in nature. I got this for a good price on sale and I really feel it was worth the regular price, but hey, saving money is always good too.

    My sweet love bugs adore this robot but, I made the mistake of buying him for my four -year old, but....had it been for the older kiddos, super fun! Make sure you are tech savvy, you will need the app and to be able to understand the new techology wave of today. The rest is just fun; he will recognize your kid's face, your face and even your dog's..let alone play games and have fun!

    My kids love this robot. I got this for my 7 year old and it became the #1 toy in the house for both my boys (the other is 4). Whenever they "wake" him up, simply by connecting to the robots wifi and opening the cozmo app, they both let out a screech of "COZMO!!!" - it's almost as if the thing has become part of the family. I've been in the IT field for close to 30 years - I understand this robot is just a peripheral and the real lifting is done through the computing power of the tablet that the application runs on. That's ok with me. It's well thought out - and not bound to it's own internal computer power (it has very little in that regard). This means the robot is going to grow over time as the application gets updates, and the possibility of third parties doing programs could be endless thanks to Anki deciding to release it's own SDK. There is even talk of a kid friendly design program coming out - which would be great for the younger ones. One thing - make sure you buy batteries for the Power Cubes. They have a 20 hour life. Luckily the ones Anki decided to pair with the device are fairly cheap considering what the alternatives could've been. They are N-cell 910A LR1 batteries. You can find them in bulk for as little as $11 for 20 batteries. Also - make sure you are using Cozmo in a well lit room. It helps with Cozmo's recognition features. As a side note - I also purchase Overdrive from Anki - another great tech toy (albeit a little limited with just the starter kit). I have very high regards for both the products they have out and look forward to seeing what else they release in the tech toy market. Two home runs so far.

    Bought this for my 7yo birthday. He has seen many videos online about it and knew most of what it could do. Once he started playing with it we all thought it was cool. When setting up the robot it has you put in your name and it scans your face so anytime it sees you it knows who you are and says your name. Really cool toy that keeps learning as you play with it. I was concerned about the cost at first but after seeing my son play with it, it was worth it.

    I purchased this for my 14 year old son who really wanted it for Xmas. I was hesitant because it was pricey for such a tiny "toy" but I was quickly won over on Xmas morning. Cozmo can recognize your face and call you by name - impressive. My son likes to play games with him using the included blocks. I love the music that accompanies the app for controlling Cozmo. He's very cute and lifelike and before you know it you're talking to him like he's the new pet.

    This toy really is pretty amazing and my kids and I loved it for about maybe a month. Nothing broke and nothing is wrong with it. We just lost interest, which is a shame for as expensive as Cozmo is. All I can say is if you think that whoever you are getting this will play with it a lot then I would absolutely recommend it. If not, it will be an expensive paperweight.

    I have been hestitating even considering getting Cosmo because the commercials just didn't make it look like it was worth the price tag. My son has been begging for Cosmo since last Christmas. Reluctantly I gave in and got him Cosmo this year for Christmas. I'm glad I did. This little robot is awsome.

    Our son got Cozmo for Christmas and has used him every day. Cozmo is fun for us too. He can recognize and distinguish between several faces that he has been introduced to. He is smart and very funny when he gets mad!! I think there is a lot of potential here with updates. Love our little guy!!

    I have it 4 stars only because the 1st one was broke and my 6 yr old grandson was very sad christmas morning. This was the only thing he really wanted . Returned it at store with no hassle. Store was out of stock but new one was delivered 2 days layer at my door. He loves it and it's amazing and the games he plays with you is fun.

    This little robot did everything they said it would do right outta the box. What I found very important and equally interesting is that updates are ongoing and the source code is open to do whatever a developer, forward thinker or tech savvy person might wanna try. There isn't much that detracts from this cute personable little robot but the price is a little high for what you get IMO. But thats just me. I'm not cheap but I look for bang when spending this kinda buck.
