Astro* is a household robot with Alexa capability that will help you around your home. It uses advanced navigation technology to find its way around your home and where you need it to go. When not using Astro* it will find somewhere convenient to hang out for when you do. It will even go to its charger when its battery needs topping up.
You can send Astro* to remotely check on rooms, people and things. It will alert you if it detects an unrecognised person or hears certain sounds like breaking glass or alarms whilst you are away. With the Astro app, you can see a live view of your home and check in on specific rooms, people, or things. On the Astro app simply tap where you want Astro* to go, then raise or lower the periscope for a better look. You can even sound a siren if you see something suspicious.
With your Astro purchase you will get a 6 month free trial subscription to Ring Protect Pro* and you can save Astro’s patrol videos for up to 60 days. Subscribing will allow Astro to conduct autonomous patrols whilst you are away from home. Add on Alexa Guard Plus* and Astro* will bark when motion is detected outside the house and sound a siren when someone is detected inside the house.
Coming soon you will be able to subscribe to an Alexa Together* subscription. This will allow you to remotely care for aging loved ones, giving you peace of mind while helping them live independently. Set up reminders, manage shopping lists, receive activity alerts, and more.
Having Astro* around is like having a mobile Alexa. Astro* can follow your around providing you with entertainment, deliver messages and much more.
In terms of privacy settings, you can turn off the mics, cameras and motion with one press of a button and even set out of bounds zones to let Astro know where it is and is not allowed to go.
You can customize Astro* with a range of compatible products. From a detachable cup holder to OMRON blood pressure monitor* to a Furbo Dog Camera* that tosses treats to your pet.
However Astro* has an achilles heal, it cannot go up or down the stairs. Otherwise Astro is great to have around especially if you live on your own for most or all of the time.
