Amazon announced today new features for its Astro robot, including pet detection, Ring Virtual Security Guard support, more robust AI, and a new SDK.
Last year, Amazon announced its new home robot Astro. Astro combines autonomous navigation, intelligent motion, Alexa, and a cheery personality all into one device. Thus far, you could use it to help patrol and secure your home or have it always near a loved one for communication. Today at its fall hardware event, Amazon announced new features that Astro will have to improve its intelligence.
Next up, Astro will now be able to interact with more members of your family. This comes in the form of the new pet detection feature. Astro can now discern cats and dogs from humans and other objects with pet detection. When Astro does see your pet, it will send you a short video clip so you know what your pet is doing at all times. You can then take action and start a Live View or take a photo if you want.
