Cozmo, a robot with personality who could replace your pet

A new toy robot going on sale in New Zealand next month will entertain, educate and charm you, and maybe even one day replace your pet.

Cozmo is a small connected toy which has a personality that is a mix of OCD and bi-polar.

It will cost $360 and will go on sale alongside Anki Overdrive (available in October for $310), a car racing game that’s like a video game come to life.

Both are made by Anki, a US tech company that aims to bring robots out of the science lab and into your living room.

Both products have been available for a while, but they are now going on sale in New Zealand.

While the futuristic slot-car game Overdrive was the company’s first product, it’s Cozmo which is the most intriguing.

That’s because of its human-like capabilities. It can recognise people and pets, talk, and respond to how it is treated.
