Hands on with Cozmo, the little AI robot that could

Cozmo, the product of San Francisco-based startup Anki, received plenty of press when it made its July debut. Since then, the firm has demoed the artificially intelligent little robot's SDK, formally launched pre-orders, and prepared thousands of the AI-powered companions for shipment later this year. A few "escaped" early, though, including one that found its way to the New York offices of Digital Trends. For the better part of two weeks, we've been playing with it to find out just what makes it tick. The answer is simpler than it might appear at first glance.
