Rejected submission by Anonymous Coward mailto:john@kurtrox.com at 2017-05-16 19:28:10 from the no-disassemble dept.
Hardware
Anki released their Cozmo Robot and the world has yet to see the insides [youtube.com]. Kurt mine recently got his hands on one and opened the cube as well as the robot. The robot is controlled remotely via the app over WiFi; the cubes are controlled by the robot over Bluetooth. This type of design may encourage hobbyist to use remote computers for processing power allowing the robot to be lighter, more power efficient, and allowing it access to the knowledge and power of the Internet. Image a home built Alexa with wheels or legs to follow you around!
