Amazon turned its Alexa robot into a Ring security patrol bot
Amazon has introduced the Ring Rover Cam, a mobile security robot for businesses that builds on the technology used in the Astro home robot. It features a 4K periscope camera and is designed to patrol large facilities and investigate security alerts.
Why it matters
The adaptation of consumer robotics for commercial security applications indicates a growing market for autonomous surveillance solutions.
As part of a new brand called Ring Robotics — designed to take a more proactive approach to security instead of just monitoring — a new rolling mobile security camera was announced by Amazon, called the Ring Rover Cam. It borrows a lot of the design and functionality from the Astro home robot that Amazon first debuted in 2021. The Rover Cam is targeted at businesses in need of an affordable security solution that can patrol and investigate concerns in large facilities, and it comes with a few upgrades.
