It comes with an array of sensors and cameras that help it navigate around your home while performing all sorts of interesting tasks. Amazon cites examples of using it to help a loved one who needs assistance or monitoring, checking if you left the stove on, and all kinds of other stuff.<\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re not home, Astro can\u00a0move around your home on its own, check on specific areas, show you a live view of rooms, or send alerts if it detects someone who shouldn\u2019t be there. Essentially, it\u2019s like having a more advanced Echo Show that can move around your home.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Introducing Amazon Astro \u2013 Household Robot for Home Monitoring, with Alexa\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sj1t3msy8dc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re actually home, it\u2019ll provide you all of the Alexa features you\u2019re accustomed to.
