R&D project and Mark P. presenting Cozmo at Ideacity


I've been waiting to show this for what feels like ETERNITY! Last year we created a R&D project called Trust, where our team was experimenting with Cozmo in-front of a live camera. We wanted to see if we can stretch the style of performance from the robot and get a different feel from what we generally felt more comfortable which was humor and comedy. So check it out at the 17:00 mark in the video.

Also check Mark's entire talk, it's pretty good. Mark Palatucci is one of Anki's three founders and he shares some insight on A.I., Cozmo, and among other things the surprising relevance of character performance for personal interaction with robots.
