Cozmo is based on the popular Python programming language, which is simple for computer scientists but still pretty complex for novices. So Anki created a user interface on top of the code.

If you understood Python, and had even a rudimentary grasp of code, you could get Cozmo to do things that a traditional programmable robot might demand a PhD in robotics to figure out.

Since Cozmo’s launch, university students and others have been programming it through a software development kit. But to do that, they had to know the common coding language Python.

In addition to being an adorable robot companion, Anki's Cozmo is now getting a programming platform of its very own. Starting today, Cozmo owners will have access to "Code Lab," a visual ...

You can program Cozmo to do things like blink, drive, turn to avoid an obstacle, recognize faces, and other actions that require sophisticated AI. Anki was founded in 2010 and has raised more than ...

Cozmo was supposed to be the new face of robotics for Anki, previously known for its collection of connected toy cars. After Cozmo’s launch last October, the company offered SDKs for research ...

Robots with personality aren't new, but Anki's Cozmo has broader goals than just entertainment: it wants to bring advanced coding techniques to the mass market. Announced last month, Cozmo – a ...

What do college robotics students and grade-school kids have in common? Both can now learn programing with Anki’s $180 Cozmo robot. After releasing a programming kit in the popular Python ...

Cozmo loves those little blocks; in fact, he can be "a little bit OCD" about them, as Sofman put it. Sofman knocked over blocks that Cozmo had painstakingly stacked into a column, and the robot ...
