We can use most of the smart home technologies in our country. These technologies allow us to control what is happening at home when we are not at home, and to remotely turn on and off systems such as electricity and light. In this context, it may be necessary to purchase different products for the control of different objects.
E-commerce giant Amazon has announced its new robot, Astro, for those looking for such smart home products. When a robot is mentioned in a news article where Amazon and smart home systems are in the same place, you may think of ‘Alexa’s wheeled one’. But if we look at its features, Astro is much more than that. Not just because he can beatbox, of course. Let’s take a closer look at the prominent features of Astro.
Patrols the house:
Yes, Astro can patrol the house. While doing this, he uses his periscope-shaped extending camera, which you can see in the photos. If he senses something out of the ordinary at home, he sends a notification to your phone and you can see what’s going on at home because you can connect to his camera remotely.
This robot patrolling the house also has a respect for private spaces. So if you want, you can set Astro to only roam in certain areas. Or, if you don’t feel comfortable, you can use the button that completely disables the camera and microphone. But if you do, Astro will lose the ability to roam.
In addition, this robot, which can follow its owner, also allows video calls to be made.
Let’s come to the price:
Amazon has announced the price of Astro as $999.99 (approximately $8,880), but this will only be available for the first time and in the US only. From here, the price of the robot will increase to $ 1,449.99 (approximately 12,875 TL).
You can share your thoughts about this robot, which will either be the new toy of the rich, or that we think it will be very useful for older people in practice, in the comments section.
