Astro Boy is about the size of a puppy. It moves through the big wheels on the left and right sides, and the "eyes" are displayed on the central screen. There are many changes in facial expressions. The former can also grasp the obstacles in the home to move by themselves through cameras and sensors.
According to reports, users can confirm the situation at home through "Astro" outside, or receive immediate notification of abnormality when there is no one at home or an elderly person. In addition, "Astro" also supports music and video distribution, video calling and so on.
At present, the purchase of this robot adopts the invitation system, and it has begun to accept reservations from interested parties, starting at $999.99.
"Astro" combines the functions of AI speaker terminals and surveillance cameras previously released by Amazon. At the product launch, Dave Limp, the terminal manager, said, "Like Alexa, Astro will be smarter and have higher performance".
In addition, Amazon also released new products such as "Echo Show" display terminal supporting Alexa and small indoor monitoring drones.
