COZMO sneaks around the house stealthily with its night vision activated until it finds its target. A young girl hangs over the back of the couch as she controls the robot and orders it to viciously attack her brother.

New Night Vision Tech Lets AI See in Pitch Darkness Like It's Broad Daylight. Nocturnal predators have an ingrained superpower: even in pitch-black darkness, they can easily survey their surroundings, homing in on tasty prey hidden among a monochrome landscape.

Cozmo. In October 2016, Anki launched Cozmo in the US. Cozmo is a robot about 4 inches by 3 by 2 inches.

Traditional night vision devices use optoelectronic image enhancement, which works by sensing small amounts of infrared light that are reflected off objects and then electrically amplifying that light into a characteristic glowing green image.

Rods are responsible for vision in dim or dark light. They are located on the outer edges of the retina and help with peripheral (side) vision. Rods don't provide color vision, so night vision is only in black and white. Rods are much more sensitive to light - 500 to 1,000 times more sensitive - than cones are.

male A member of the Guardians in comic book lore, Cosmo is depicted as a male dog on the printed page. In The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, however, the live-action incarnation is a female, voiced by Oscar nominee Maria Bakalova.

Actual playtime will vary based upon how you use Cozmo. Cozmo's internal battery is not user serviceable.

Night vision is typically monotone - everything the wearer can see is colored in the same hue, which is mostly shades of green.

Night vision refers to the technology that allows individuals to see in low-light or dark environments. It works by amplifying the available light or by using thermal imaging to detect heat signatures. The result is a clearer and more detailed image, even in complete darkness.

Night vision devices use image intensifiers tubes to amplify ambient light to produce brighter images of the surroundings. Responders use these devices during nighttime surveillance, search and rescue, and covert operations.

In the comics, Adam Warlock is genetically engineered to be a perfect being by an evil group of human scientists called the Enclave. He escapes from their villainous machinations to discover himself in space, eventually becoming a powerful cosmic hero.

"Why did you make cosmo a female when he had always been known as a good boy?" one fan asked Gunn on Twitter, prompting a response from the director. "Because Cosmo is based on Laika, the Russian dog, who was a female, so I gender-swapped her back," Gunn said.
