Anki was a consumer robotics company that designed and manufactured advanced robots including Cozmo, Vector, and Anki OVERDRIVE. Founded in 2010 by Carnegie Mellon graduates, the company developed cutting-edge consumer robots with AI and computer vision capabilities. Anki's products were recognized as innovative in the consumer robotics space. The company ceased operations in April 2019 after failing to secure additional funding, despite having raised over $200 million. Anki's assets, including all patents, trademarks, and intellectual property, were subsequently acquired by Digital Dream Labs in December 2019.
