Meet Astro, Amazon’s Home Robot
One of the most exciting announcements during Amazon’s event was Astro. This is the company’s new robot assistant for your home. Astro will basically work as a giant, moving smartphone. You can use Astro to control your home security, and it can move around your house on its own! It avoids hitting objects thanks to its cameras and sensors, thankfully. What’s more, it has a rotating screen that acts as its “face” to make it look more friendly. It also works as a touchscreen that you can use like any other smart device. As of right now, not everyone will get the chance to test Astro – Amazon will deliver it to select customers later this year for $999.
