Amazon Introduces ASTRO Robot Alexa on Wheels
Amazon Introduces ASTRO Robot Alexa on Wheels. Amazon introduced Alexa on Wheels, called Astro. It's a first home robot that can patrol around your house, record video, deliver messages, and more. Anyone who wants an Amazon robot Astro in their house can get it for $999.

Technology Tech Review Tech news Products Review Gadgets review Boston Dynamics Robots Tesla Robot. Astro looks like a small rounded block with two 12-inch wheels toward the front. There’s a third wheel under the rear end to keep the robot stable. Upfront, there’s a 10-inch screen that sits on a short arm. The display can show you content, but at idle it’s the robot’s virtual face. Amazon says it looked at movies, TV, games, and animation to give Astro a bit of personality. The way the eyes move and the expressive tones are supposed to put nearby humans at ease. Exactly how much at ease will probably depend on how you feel. To get around, Astro needs to know where it is. Amazon developed a technology called Intelligent Motion, which makes use of simultaneous location and mapping (SLAM). So, the robot uses its sensors to build a 3D map of the space around it. Intelligent Motion devises several hundred potential paths to the goal and then scores them before choosing the best one. Not only does it learn the layout of your home, but it can cope with changes like an open drawer, a pile of dirty laundry, or a dog laying on the floor. At its most basic level, Astro does all the things an Alexa-powered smart display can do. You can control smart home devices, view camera feeds, and check the weather. The robot has an array of cameras, so it can even patrol the house when you’re away. Amazon added a telescoping camera to the robot that can see objects that it could not otherwise reach. For example, Astro could check to make sure you turned off the oven. The cameras can recognize members of the family, allowing you to drop items in Astro’s cargo bin for delivery. Just tell it who to find, and off it goes. There are certainly some neat use cases here, but Astro is very rudimentary as far as robots go. It can’t go on stairs, and the lack of arms means it won’t be able to carry anything outside that cargo bin. It won’t clean your floors, either. It’s more like the other home robots we’ve seen announced, but few of them have even gone on sale. Amazon is taking it slow with Astro — customers who want the Robot can apply next year for $999.99. Later, the price will go up to $1,499, but it will never be a mass-produced product. So what do you think? Can the new Robot from Amazon Astro change peoples minds on Privacy issues?
