Amazon launches Astro, a security robot that patrols commercial premises

IT House News on November 15th, companies can now purchase a security robot from Amazon to patrol their commercial premises. But this thing looks only slightly taller than a robot vacuum, and feels more like a Wall-E than a Terminator.

Amazon today launched Astro for Business in the United States, a $2,349.99 (approximately 17,084 yuan) robot that can move autonomously or with a remote control. The robot is equipped with a high-definition periscope camera with night vision function, providing all-weather real-time image monitoring and two-way call functions. Additionally, Amazon offers three different subscription services to help businesses monitor their facilities

Rewritten content: Among them, a $99 per month virtual security subscription service allows robots to notify Ring’s rapid response agents when they detect strangers, strange noises or other suspicious activity. However, customers must subscribe to both Ring Protect Pro and Astro Secure services to use the virtual security feature. The two subscription services cost $20 and $60 per month respectively

Ring Protect Pro allows users to save device footage for up to 180 days and sync it with Ring’s motion sensors and alarms. Astro Secure allows robots to patrol autonomously and move along user-defined routes. Astro can also send alerts to users and automatically go to triggered sensors to see what's going on.

Amazon last year launched a similar robot for the home called Astro for Home. It is still available by invitation only, priced at $1,599.99
