Cozmo
Also known as: Cozmo Robot
A small, toy-like robot originally developed by Anki, featuring tracked wheels, a lift arm with a fork, and a screen face that displays animated eyes and emotive behaviours. Cozmo includes face recognition, name memory, and programmable games, and is often used in accessibility and education research as a less intimidating alternative to humanoid robots. Because its form sets low expectations, Cozmo often surprises users with capabilities such as greeting them by name or competing in games, which can foster engagement among adults with intellectual disabilities.
