Anki's Cozmo Robot is now available in Japan, Germany, UK, France and Nordic countries

Anki is bringing its learning robot to more countries starting today. Cozmo is finally ready for his global debut! Currently out in the U.S. and Canada, but this month, we add Japan, Germany, UK, France, and the Nordic countries to the list.     

We’ve been working on Cozmo since 2011 and he still continues to evolve everyday. We’re not just launching Cozmo around the world this month, we’re also updating the whole experience for everyone. In June, I mentioned that  alongside a new Collector’s Edition of Cozmo, we’d have some big updates coming. Well, the first of those updates is here and it changes the way you’ll interact with Cozmo on a day-to-day basis. 

To many of his fans, Cozmo is the ultimate pet robot -- you can play games with him, sure, but you can also just hang out with him. When you launch the newest version of the Cozmo app, you’ll see that some new features have been added to Cozmo that make him feel even more alive. The update transforms the relationship between Cozmo and his owner to one that is more evocative of the relationship that exists between a beloved pet and its owner. And like a pet, sometimes Cozmo has specific needs that require just a little love and care. By keeping him tuned-up, energized, and entertained, you develop his skills and abilities, making him a sharper playmate and partner in crime.
