Home robot

Amazon has launched a new home robot called Astro.

The device is a kind of Alexa on wheels, which can be set to guard the home, help with caregiving, and check on pets.

It will be available to some US customers later this year - costing approximately €870.

Besides being cute, Astro can help you monitor your home when you're away, check on your family and pets, and move with you during video calls.
