The Astro is an Amazon designed home assistant robot. This robot is designed to help out with home tasks by first mapping out the floor plan of your home so it can, when commanded, perform a number of at home tasks.

Not only is The Astro a fun device, but it is used to make sure your home is safe at all times. Monitoring the house while you are not home, the robot has a periscope camera that can make sure your stove is turned off, and record blood pressure. 

On the robot’s face is the display of two circles that behave as eyes, allowing you to understand where the Astro is off to next. This robot is two feet tall and 20 pounds. Its top speed is 1 meter per second and has 360 motion.
