A media event that highlighted the Amazon releases incredible new gadgets was live-streamed by Amazon.com. The announcement of the newest Ring security product model and the Echo series of voice recognition speakers, which includes a 15-inch smart display, was to be expected.
There were also a few slightly bizarre gadgets, like a kid-friendly interactive projector and the Astro home robot on wheels. Today’s product announcements largely highlight the connections between Amazon’s hardware brands. The Ring Alarm Pro, which combines a security system and Wi-Fi router Eero, is one illustration.
Additionally, it added a number of items that appeared to have been created to directly compete with well-known products on the market, many of which are now available for purchase on Amazon’s website. There are efforts to direct customers to premium services that require monthly fees in addition to the pricy prime membership registration process.

The autonomous Alexa Home Robo Astro Astro, which resembles the child that Wall-E and Eve had in the animated film Wall-E, has just been released. On a tricycle, the Astro resembles an Echo Show 10. It has a cargo bed that can hold up to 4.4 pounds and a 10-inch display that is purportedly the face of a robot.
What Alexa can do, so can Astro. Astro and Echo are different in that Astro follows people around the house. It might be a smaller, cuter version of the personal security robots you might see in a mall. Astro causes the display to tilt and turn to face you.
Astro can determine the range of an object when the ring sensor or camera detects it. You can delegate Astro to conduct routine patrols while you’re out and about. It has a periscope that can be raised to 42 inches, which is the height of many countertops, and a 12-megapixel camera. The Astro has a privacy button that disables the microphone and camera, just like other Alexa devices. Additionally, you can create boundaries so that the robot won’t enter them when it observes activity.
For video calls, the battery lasts for two hours, and for light tasks, it lasts even longer.
Astro robot can be purchased for $999.99. This is only accessible by invitation and is not available to everyone. Only logged-in users are permitted to request one of the few invitations to purchase this.
