Cozmo

Bridge by Anki

Anki Cozmo over PyCozmo: differential drive, head and lift, speech, a face display (text, eyes or a picture), backpack and cube lights, cliff and pick-up sensors and a 320x240 camera. A bridge computer joins the robot's Wi-Fi on one interface and OpenVibe on another.

How it connects

Bridge. The OpenVibe Node runs on a computer or phone next to the robot and joins the robot's own link. Nothing on the robot changes.

  1. Cozmo keeps its own firmware and app; nothing on it changes.
  2. On a computer beside it (one network adapter on Cozmo's Wi-Fi, one on the internet) paste the pairing command.
  3. The bridge drives it through PyCozmo and streams its camera; cliff and pick-up stop it on the robot.

Safety

Every command passes Bot's gate: roles, the owner's limits and cooldowns, and a latched e-stop only the owner clears. The device stops the motors by itself when commands stop arriving, without asking the network.
