Vector 2.0 Robot — An Expressive Autonomous Desk Companion
Vector 2.0 is a small robot with a surprisingly present personality. It can explore a suitable desktop, react to people and return to its charger. Animated eyes, a movable lift and compact tracked body give the interaction a physical quality that a voice-only assistant cannot reproduce.
A robot that moves for itself
Vector is designed to move autonomously on a safe, level surface rather than waiting for a remote-control command. Onboard sensing helps it respond to nearby objects and edges. Clear loose cables and fragile items before use, and never leave it on an unprotected high edge.
It can learn a familiar face
The specifications include face recognition and personalised greetings. The result is a device that can respond differently when someone approaches, adding continuity to repeated interactions. Set up recognition through the supported account and review camera permissions for shared spaces.
Ask, talk, discover
Voice activation is available with the “Hey Vector” wake phrase. Connected conversation through ChatGPT is also available as a connected feature, with a separate subscription required for that feature. Service availability can change, so check the current provider terms before depending on AI conversation.
Expressive by design
The face display, tiny movements and lift combine to make reactions easy to read. Vector can feel curious, focused or playful without pretending to be a person. It works particularly well in a place where its small movements can be seen throughout the day.
Find its own charging spot
The product supports self-docking when the battery runs low. Position the charger where Vector can reach it across a clear surface, and confirm the dock is connected to power. As with any mobile robot, reliable return depends on the environment and setup.
A connected product with clear expectations
Camera, voice and account features require thoughtful setup. The specifications include support for several languages, while the exact feature set may depend on software and service subscription. Plan for the separate ChatGPT subscription if that connected feature matters to you.
