About the Astro robot

  • The Astro robot, which is six feet [2 m] long, is actually a robot with a wheeled robot.
  • Astro is considered a home security device.
  • It is designed to surround the home and keep a check on pets, and to discover something unusual that the owner is not present.
  • It comes with a "periscope" camera that comes out of its head and can be used to keep an eye on the home.
  • With the combination of the Echo (smart speaker) and the Ring security camera mounted on a single device, the device captures live videos, sees faces, plays music or videos, and delivers beer to the home.
  • It can detect people's faces and analyze them to see if they are a family member or an outsider.

Verifying, please be patient.
