According to The Robot Report, Anki's IP assets were recently purchased
by a Pittsburgh edtech startup, Digital Dream Labs. Digital Dream Labs
CEO Jacob Hanchar announced that they intend to bring Anki's Overdrive,
Cozmo, and Vector products back into production in time for the 2020
Christmas market:

Can they pull it off? Time will tell. Here's another report (thanks to
Arta Szathmary) with some additional information:

If Cozmo does come back, that will reduce the market for Sphero's new
RVR. How will Sphero respond? And what will DJI do?
We indeed live in interesting times.
