Digital Dream Labs Vector 2.0

The Digital Dream Labs Vector 2.0 is a desktop companion robot relaunched by Digital Dream Labs (DDL) after it acquired Vector from Anki following Anki's April 2019 bankruptcy. Vector was originally released in October 2018; the 2.0 update added ChatGPT integration. Navigation uses an on-device SLAM camera; facial recognition data is encoded locally and never uploaded to the cloud. Photos are stored encrypted on the robot. Voice commands stream to the cloud after the 'Hey Vector' wake phrase is detected; audio is deleted after processing. Features a full-color OLED display and an autonomous personality engine. Priced at $199.99.
