== Vector SDK ==

The SDK ~~gives full access to all of Vector~~'s ~~hardware~~ and ~~software features available from~~ Vector's ~~firmware. This even includes features currently not available from~~ of the official ~~Python SDK including face enrollment~~, and ~~adjusting Vector~~'s ~~permanent settings~~. The ~~API design follows~~ the ~~design of~~ the ~~Python SDK but deviates in~~ a ~~few places~~ for ~~simplicity or consistency with the underlying gRPC API~~.

The '''Vector Python SDK''' is an official software development kit for interacting with Anki's Vector robot using Python. It enables developers to programmatically control Vector’s features, such as movement, speech, facial recognition, and animations, over a local network. The SDK utilizes gRPC-based communication and is designed to run on desktop environments, allowing hobbyists and researchers to extend Vector's capabilities beyond its out-of-the-box functions.

== Vector Space ==

[[File:Anki Vector Space.png|thumb|228x228px|The Vector Space]]

The Space (Also referred to as The Habitat) is as an official accessory for the Anki Vector robot, designed to provide an optimal environment for the robot's movement and functionality. It's a compact, flat surface bordered by low walls, allowing Vector to explore, interact with its surroundings, and perform tasks without falling off edges. The Vector Space helps to reduce navigational errors caused by reflective surfaces or uneven terrain, especially on cluttered desks or countertops. Measuring around 17x9 inches, the Space also included a designated spot for Vector’s charger, ensuring the robot can autonomously return to its dock. While not required for operation, the Vector Space is recommended for users seeking a more reliable and contained environment for their robot.

== OSKR ==

OSKR was a service provided by [[Digital Dream Labs|DDL]] to allow people to install custom firmware on their Vector for a fee. As of June 2025 the only way to get OSKR is to buy a Vector 2.0 from the [https://anki.bot/ DDL Store] that is pre-loaded with OSKR. You used to be able to buy it directly for your bot, but DDL removed that option.
