Cozmo is an adorable robot companion that could rule the holidays

Cozmo is just a toy, but it knows my face and, perhaps more importantly, me. 

Every time I let the new robot toy from Anki connect to my iPhone and roll off its dock, it swivels its block-like head up to me, its pair of LED eyes forming into the semblance of a smile, and it says my name “Laaaance.” 

We have a connection.

That is, at least partly, the point of Cozmo. It’s supposed to be more than just a toy or a robot with the imitation of life, it’s a friend and playmate that deems each person (up to three people) important enough to learn their faces and names.
