Anki - Robots, AI, and AR in Your Living Room - Nanalyze

When we think about robots, we often think of humanoid helpers like in the Jetsons (it's a cartoon that older people distinguished people would have watched growing up) or massive industrial automatons that build those Teslas you see whizzing around these days. Maybe instead, we are reminded of a looming job crisis, where machines threaten to steal our livelihoods. In any case, "serious" industries with "serious" challenges are generally at the forefront of discussions about robotics because the technology involved has been research-driven and resource-intensive. This seems not to be the major hurdle anymore, and a lighter and rather cool branch of robots are taking over our living rooms: toys. Still, toys aren't often thought of as lucrative investment opportunities.
