We're already head over heels for Anki's newest creation: Cozmo, a tiny robot that the company claims is one of "the most sophisticated consumer robots available today." Anki says it worked very hard on giving Cozmo a legitimate personality that adjusts and learns based on how you play with it, which makes us excited to see a finished version later this year.
Also on today's show, we're discussing three grad students at Johns Hopkins University responsible for GRAD, a game controller made to be worn on a user's feet. One of the designers lost his hands after a meningitis infection, and the loss served as an inspiration to give video gaming control back to anyone who might have similar issues.
