Meet Vector, the most advanced home robot ever made — a curious little guy who is aware of his surroundings and can help you with simple tasks. Ask him for the weather before you head out for the day. Cooking dinner? Setting a timer with Vector means no more overcooked meals in your future. You can even ask him to take a picture and he will intelligently frame the shot by recognizing the faces in it. Vector also integrates with Amazon Alexa, just in time for the holidays.
