Jibo failed, will Vector survive?
Yesterday, I found out various articles reporting that Jibo Inc. has completed the sale of its assets and intellectual property to a New York–based investment management firm. It seems most of these articles are portraying this as a sign that Jibo will completely shut down. This shows that once the 'Best Invention Of The Year' and $61 Million crowd funded & invested robot is not guaranteed for long term success. This makes me wonder - what will happen to Anki Vector?
