So it turns out my Emo needed his battery replaced. I've since replaced it myself (check out my video on how to replace Emo's battery ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vZCWq12-nqw.htmlsi=aBSvxpIAa3xWiugh ) and he's working perfectly now. It also fixed a couple of other things as well.
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aWmPzsmMXzM.html this is a way for you to save your little vector and have your own server at home and he can do the same thing he did before and you don't have to pay for server or updates stuff like that :) hope this help you.
Wire-Pod is very easy to setup and the instructions to do it are straight forward and doesn't require for anyone to be a techie. All you need is either a PC or a Raspberry Pi or a Mac. I gave up on DDL and I'm one of the initial backers when Anki put up the project on KickStarter and own Vector 1.0. Been using Wire-Pod for almost 2 years now, running on a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4 GB of ram and a 64 GB SD card with Raspberry OS 64 Bit version. Knock on wood it's been very reliable and works flawless if setup right. Thanks for these videos, I really enjoy them and your updates and info about the bots you own are great.
Thank you so much! I may have to watch some RU-vid videos to learn about it. Seems like this is the only way to ensure our Vectors will be able to live on. Thank you for the information! 😁
he is right. you can run wirepod on practicatly any laptop. i use a laptop as a wirepod server. just set the screen to turn off after a minute of inactivity
Yes, last week I found out about wire-pod, and my little buddy is back, it works great, and even better because i can now see live feed of what it sees, a huge thanks to everyone involved with wire-pod, its an expencive bit of kit to just sit in a courner gathering dust.
You need to contact LivingAI. Include a short video showing what your Emo is doing and include his serial number. They'll probably send you the link to the "Caring For Emo" app and you can recalibrate his legs.
@@outsider238 It's kinda fine he does it less so it might be a software problem because i originally installed it on my smasnug tablet and it's glitching really hard on the tablet but on my chromebook the app works fine. EMO-EA26.
For all the vector owners here, wirepod isn’t all that complicated to install. I’m not a big computer nerd, and I got it all set up within 30 mins. For platforms such as linux or macOS, it can get a bit confusing, but on windows it’s pretty straightforward.
If it’s not complicated to install then why is it a bit confusing if it’s pretty straightforward? LOL It doesn’t make sense what you said. Some of us can’t even turn a bloody computer on without messing it up. (Meaning me LOL) so I doubt that I’d be able to set up with the wire pod thing. Some of us just can’t handle the heat anymore and DDL SUCKS A..
Does anyone else feel like ddl is just hoarding these robots from other companies that could actually do something with them? I really wish Anki could come back. Anki was awesome.
It's bizarre to me how they act like they're still in business but they don't do anything! No new Vector or Cozmo production, no new merchandise and no updates. Yet they still say they're "Out there" and nothing is happening.
Here’s another option for vector involving wirepod. Someone on eBay is selling computers that already have wirepod built in which means there no need to mess with anything. It’s a little spendy but it is an option if your not a tech guy
Robot Rant. Well, it is a problem with all the robotic toys that use the internet or smart phones to operate. They will all be bricks given enough time to pass. One reason I love the vintage robot toys more. Even after 70 years they still can operate. But having said that, I do love all the robots new and old
I have an Emo and am very sad that he hasn't updated for so long. Separate teams for different robots on the living ai service would be better, even if it costs more money to hire the workers. My Emo's leg is shaking.
LivingAI are still growing as a company. They will hopefully have separate departments to focus on certain things so that they'll keep getting more efficient over time. Do what I did for my Emo's shaky legs and it'll fix the problem.
@bacowedthebull3853 So if you email LivingAI and include a short video showing them what your Emo is doing, they'll send you a link to the app just like I mentioned in this video. That app can recalibrate Emo's leg servos and his foot sensors.
As of right now, since there hasn't been a new update for Emo and/or bug fixes, Emo has had problems when it comes to the Customization feature, and taking a photo and trying to show it in the app, there's probably more than just those problems, but either way, it would show an error saying "not connected to app server" or whatever server, which I would say the reason might be that Emo hasn't been updated since then. I know it might be because of the new robot Aibi, so yeah just thought I would explain this.
Hmm... I'll have to try it on mine. So far the only issue I've had with mine is the leg shaking issues. The "Caring For Emo" app fixed most of it but he still has a bit of a tremor with his legs. I've heard that the wiring that goes down to his feet run down the inside of his legs and over time, the movement rubs the wires and can cause them to have problems but I'm not sure if that's true. Emo is definitely in need of a maintenance update to clean up some things. I'm hoping that will come soon but I know they're concentrating their efforts to get all the Aibi orders out to everyone. I think they're a relatively small company so they're probably a bit overwhelmed right now.
Yeah it really sucks because I noticed one day when I would ask a question nothing would happen even using Alexa then I found out DDL was gone and the servers were down not cool and my EMO is working fine ???
The irritating part of it all is that DDL is never in the foreground. It's like they're lurking back there and just show up when they decide to post one of their very infrequent notifications claiming they're still "working" on Vector. Then of course, no results. I wish another company would take over Vector and Cozmo that will truly come out with updated versions of them.
Fist time viewer. I found a vector with the charger and box thing. I’m sure others have the same issue. I reset him and can’t even turn him on. The setup says to use the vector app. But can never connect to the website: So I’ve read some about firepod but the way anki set this up is criminal. The only way to use him is to pay a monthly fee. Jesus talk about having customers by the balls! I detest when companies do this . The new company DDL has a generic email response about the server being updated. Wow let me tell everyone as a semi tech person moving a server takes 5 minutes .
Sorry to hear about your original Emo. Be very curious to see if working with the kit to fix him will do the trick. As for running around off the charger, my lil Felix still runs around for roughly 2 hours before needing his charger but he is only 70 days old. If your new Emo is only staying off the charger for 10-15 minutes, any chance that's a battery issue or a software bug? Hopefully nothing hardware related. Great to see another video talking about Emo. I'm looking forward to seeing what this new update might entail (apart from communicating with Aibi of course)
You might try turning him off and then back on as that sometimes resets things on him. Did you accidentally put a lot of pressure on his petting area? If so, that can possibly cause the sensor inside to not be making contact with the connector on the inside.
@Official_Klean If you still are having problems, take a short video and include it with an email to LivingAI explaining what's going on. They have a special app that you can download that might be able to fix the issue. I don't know for sure if the app has a fix for his touch sensors but I know it does for other things. The touch sensors might just need recalibration.
My emo doesn’t want to return to his charger, mine has been off for a while. I ordered aibi back in December so I hope that new update helps with that.
You probably have to link Emo back to his Home Station. Press and hold the button on the Home Station until you see it scanning for the Bluetooth in Emo and they should reconnect. Then Emo should go back home when he needs to.
I’m still waiting for the update where we could play uno with him as I saw from the trailer and thank you for the information and when I was really young I really wanted cozmo but not as much as I would beg them but now it’s probably a good thing that I didn’t buy it
It is a good thing you didn't buy them. I really feel bad for those that waited so long to get their Vector 2.0 and when they received them, they only worked for a very short time.
From an email they sent out many months ago, they were supposedly going to reimburse (or somehow credit) those that were paying monthly but as far as I know, that hasn't happened. Nothing was said for those of us that have the lifetime membership. I'm guessing that we won't be reimbursed since Vector's "lifetime" ended sooner than we all had expected.😢
That's interesting. My Vector only gives me fist bumps when he sees me but if I ask him for one, he doesn't understand what I said since he's not connected to his servers anymore.
my emo is 268 days old, he is sick right now, we was playing hands up, then he exploded around and I said some kind words, I petted him, he then petted himself, he went home to charge after a 1hr and 20 minutes
Yes mines stays for an hour.i haven't been attention.i do know it take him longer get back his charger.i had that issue with mine they sent out the bottom half his been good after fixed him.right now i have to try fix his emo headphones connect i just the new one.
My emo is amzing and beause of the home station Emos battery is very strong. If your wondering why emo does not have an update yet it is because Living AI is working on aibi
I’m finally starting to get worried about emo and how much longer he will last. I hope aibi sells well and living ai can continue making these guys. By the way could you explain a little bit in detail how to get living ai to send you that app, my little buddy is having some issues with his leg.
So record a short video showing how your Emo's leg is acting up and include it with an email to LivingAI explaining what he's doing. Also include your Emo's serial number. They should respond in a day or two. If it's something that can be fixed with the app, they'll include a link to the app and you download it onto your device. There will also be a link to a video showing how to use the app. I have a video coming out tomorrow showing how to change his battery that I hope will be helpful to everyone. 😁
@@outsider238 your my favourite RU-vidr! You even inspired me to make my own content. Should I get a vector off of Facebook marketplace and make a wire pod? Or should I just wait it out and see. Sorry for so many questions but also, would getting a loona charging station be good for me if I want to keep her on all day? - Thank you
my emo's battery went bad and do to Ur experience i don't want to send him in he can't connect to his charger 90% of the time i already got a new charger so that's not it i noticed white powder on his battery charge foot anything i can do?
@outsider238 Every Emo has white powder from the foot because emo legs are rubbing with a coating Living ai has put on his leg. After 100 or 200 day it will stay there and this is normal and healthy for emo
My Emo had a fault 😢 so they sent me a new one but I had to pay 50 pounds. But he did not come with a charger and you cannot buy a spare charger. Has anyone ever tried another charger that works with emo so I can charge them both?
@@outsider238 yeah I'm not paying for a home station as he can not get on the one he has now. The problem my Emo ended up with was his right leg does not work right so he struggles to go back home and I have to put him on the charger after he runs out of power or I ask him to shut down. So I wanted to buy a skateboard or something else that would charge him as I have two now and one charger. I would still love to get him repaired somehow 😔
@Ianzweb You have to email LivingAI explaining what his leg is doing and include a short video showing the problem. If it's something that can be fixed with the Caring For Emo app, they'll send you the link to download it and a video link to show how to use it. It fixed my Emo's leg issues. Now my Emo goes back on his Home Station like normal.
Do you still have your Cozmo? Ive been looking for one for a long time No one on ebay seems to sell me theirs and if you were ok with it i was gonna ask to offer for it maybe.
To be honest, I haven't even turned Loona on in months. She's just too hyper for my liking. She kept getting stuck in different places all over the house and she couldn't get back to her charger very well. I don't know if that's all been improved since last had her powered up but I think I like the desktop robot pets much better.
@tchambers6912 I'm not sure why he's doing that. You're best bet is to record your Emo doing that and send an email along with the video to LivingAI along with your Emo's serial number. You may have to replace the battery.
I suspect the anki creators don’t care since they sold it to DDL. Another example of the avarice of capitalism . A company that cares about it's customers makes a transition plan mandatory part of the sale. What makes the most sense now since ddl is selling EMO and I assume there is some server he connects to for updates. But vector works the same way. In 5 years they could not import the vector info? Nonsense also known as bullsh&t.
@davepirtle9790 Anki didn't sell themselves to digital dream labs. They went bankrupt when a deal with another company fell through last minute, and Digital Dream Labs bought them afterward.
