Amazon Astro: everything you need to know about this home robot
Amazon Astro following a person through a door.

Amazon Astro came as a surprise when it was revealed in September 2021. The quirky device does a little bit of everything, serving as a robot companion that boasts facial recognition, impressive navigation skills, and tons of useful home security features.

But a lot has changed with Astro since it was first announced. Here’s a look at everything we know about Astro, including how you can get your hands on it and add it to your home.
Designed to rove around the home
Amazon calls Astro a "household robot." This little device is designed to be an assistant throughout the home, helping with everything from home security to carrying cargo. It has no arms, but does come with a cargo bin. Users can place an item in the bin (or in one of the accessories, like a cup holder -- sold separately, of course) and ask Astro to take the item to another member of the home. Thanks to facial recognition features, Astro can be taught to distinguish different family members from one another. If your spouse asks for a beer while watching the football game, just pass one to Astro and let it handle the job.
