VECTOR 2.0

Vector 2.0 is a palm-sized robot for your desk. Digital Dream Labs revived the original Anki Vector design with a user-replaceable battery and a wider camera for recognizing faces and pets.

Vector rolls on small treads, makes curious sounds, plays with its included cube, and drives back to its charger on its own. Premium voice features, weather, timers, and ChatGPT chat need a paid Vector AI subscription (about $10–12 per month or $100 per year). Amazon Alexa smart home control is built in when the service is active.

The robot costs about $200 plus that optional subscription. Digital Dream Labs has had cloud outages that can limit setup and premium features. Some owners restore service with community tools such as Wire-Pod.
