Digital Dream Labs/Anki (or DDL for short), is an educational technology company that was founded in 2012, which is located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They made Educational Video Games, and made Puzzlets (used to be called Ludos). In 2020, they bought Anki's assets due to Anki's Bankruptcy. In 2025, DDL rebranded to Anki, and Zack Anton took over as CEO.

Digital Dream Labs was founded in 2012 by Peter Kinney, Jacob Hanchar, Matt Stewart, and Justin Sabo. The reason why is because they wanted to make educational video games for children and wanted to innovate. Their first product was Ludos (however was changed to Puzzlets immediately after), which uses toy puzzle pieces to control Video Games. They also made video games too like Cork the Volcano for the product Ludos. Digital Dream Labs mission was the spark the curiosity in us all, mixing nostalgia with the technology children crave.

Once Anki's assets were bought, DDL was going to be "improving" [[Vector]], [[Cozmo]], and [[Overdrive]]. They also were going to make other robots too.

=== InfiniDrive (Seemingly Cancelled) ===

[[File:Vector 2.0.jpg|thumb|Vector 2.0 Box]]

DDL was planning to make a product similar to [[Overdrive]] but the battery in the cars don't have to be charged (wireless charging on a specific track), with the name "InfiniDrive" (likely from the idea of ''infinite'' battery). DDL hosted Webinars about how the Status was about DDL's Robots, but we've not heard anything since 2023.

=== Vector 2.0 (Released) ===

Vector 2.0 is supposed to be [[Vector]] but better, with a better camera, the DDL logo, and a better battery. This robot was then soon released in 2022, two years after 2020's pre-orders and '''''some people still haven't received it to this day'''''.

[[File:Cozmo 2.0.webp|thumb|Cozmo 2.0 box]]

=== Cozmo 2.0 (Possibly In Development) ===

[[File:Infinidrive.jpg|thumb|Infinidrive]]

[[Cozmo]] 2.0's design has been updated to look like a [[Vector]] modified to be looking like a Cozmo. The same states with Vector 2.0, better battery, better camera, and the ddl logo. Prototype versions of this Robot has been posted to DDL's YouTube channel, but no updates have been given since 2022.
