An animated character comes to life
summary
Anki builds Cosmo as a physical animated character that actually expresses emotions and adapts to play and handling, claiming film-style animation maps directly to hardware. Animators use Maya with a rig matched to motors and ranges, the robot contains about 320 components including a front-facing phone camera, a 50 MHz computer and sensors scanning at 500 Hz, and an SDK already sees university and clinical use, with the prototype performing reliably in demos.
