Not sure how many of you remember the Cozmo robot, a tiny, extremely expressive contraption the world apparently hated hard enough to almost kick off the market. The thing kind of still if out there, in the hands of a company called Digital Dream Labs, but it’s soon going to get some competition of sorts. 7 photos
Earlier this year, during what was the CES event, a company called Moorebot showed something called Scout. It’s a small robot, definitely less expressive than Cosmo, that can be used for more serious tasks than playing with cubes, like say spying on your parents in the middle of the night, or making sure you didn’t leave the water running while you’re away.

There isn’t too much that hasn’t already been done in the smart camera market. They’re smaller, clearer, and, yes, smarter than any than ever. But the Moorebot Scout has one feature that makes it stand out from the crowd: four-wheel drive.
The Scout consists of a 1080p camera with night vision and two-way audio support mounted to a wheeled chassis measuring just 2.8 x 4 x 4.3 inches. Its tiny size should enable it to roll into the tightest spaces. Even more intriguing: the camera’s integrated artificial intelligence renders it autonomous it can operate without human intervention.
