Amazon Astro is an Alexa robot that roams your home

The rumors were true. Amazon is working on an Alexa-powered robot on wheels. At its fall hardware event, the company showed off Astro. Set to cost $999 when it becomes available later this year, it's essentially an Alexa display that can follow you around your home. The robot features a periscope camera that allows it to expand its field of view beyond the floor of your home. It can extend the camera to check on things like stovetops and sleeping pets. With Ring's Protect Pro subscription service, you can program Astro to patrol your home while you're away. It will send you notifications when it notices something usual, and you can save what it records to your Ring account.
