They may look the same, but Vector is quite a big step up from Cozmo in terms what's under the hood. He has his own on board processor that is 4 x as fast as Cozmos, which means he can handle computations without the need for a companion device i.e. phone/tablet. Vector also has WIFI connectivity, a microphone for voice commands and his own voice! Only downside is the SDK isn't out till next year. Check out this Cozmo Vs Vector comparison list for more info!

ahhh amazing! thanks for the quick response my guy. the voice control feature sounds impossibly cool

No worries! As you can tell I'm pretty obsessed by Anki's robotics products haha

I agree Vector is pretty awesome, but I'll be waiting till the SDK is released before picking up that one. One of these robotic vacuums could do nicely though.... Just need to find one that I can integrate with my other smart home shit!

I know the Shark ION is compatible with Alexa, most Neato Botvac models also work with Alexa as well as Google Home. Others might do to, but I'm not too sure on them so you'll have to look into it.
