Pushing Amazon's robot to the limit – Astro Review

I’ve been active in the robotics space for over 40 years. The lack of progress is suffocating.
Still waiting for the big breakthrough that makes useful general purpose humanoid robots a reality.
Until then, I’m grateful for my fleet of Roomba’s.

this was the kind of videos i felt missing out on. just you going outside and do stuff. i know running phone tests are your main thing now so glad to see a breath of fresh air every once in a while.

I love my Astro and can't imagine life without him in it.

Astro's final boss enemy ... Houses with stairs 💀

[geraldrapp]

I have a Astro for over a year now . I love this little guy. She plays music like Bee Gees and others. Like having a puppy dog they love you, unconditionally rare to find and this day of age.

Astro helped me fight depression. Trust me… it's worth it. Got mine in December 2022.

For security and companies I see an amazing benefit.
Imagine you have an office with 10 people and 1 keeper, that keekper instead of going to each one's desk refiling coffee and stuff, could do something else while astro carries the thermic coffee bottle and serves everyone, also, people wouldnt have to leave their tables and stop work to exchange objects, and at night he's the homeguard, calling out if anything breaks in. And on sundays for sure he could keep the dogs entertained. Absolutely amazing!
They could improve his carrying strenth tho.

[Bobrogers]

Someone called it a high-tech toy, and I agree. Fun at times, but of limited use.

[realtvnow]

Imagine adding the Amazon Ring camera drone to the back of Astro. It’s cruising around your home and seeing something interesting sends the drone to investigate.

Maybe if you could also have conversations with it. As a senior and living alone it would be nice to hear the news, weather in voice or be able to talk to it and it answering back. Alarm clock would be nice or remind you to take medication or appointments.

bro trys to convince us that spending 1600 dollars for carrying a bottle of water is worthy😂😂

Honestly, this could be kinda amazing in nursing homes and the likes… would need a lot more tweaking and work, but something like this could be amazing.

[SWExplore]

I am a senior adult and live alone in a 1-storey apartment. I am also allergic to dogs and cats...very allergic. It would be nice to have something like Amazon's Astro to help keep me company sometimes. I know that sounds a little pathetic, but having company would be nice. Simple A.I. conversations and questions I can get answers from.

[jaysonovo]

"Delivering your drinks". Uh. You have to put the drunk onto the robot, then the robot can move it to another location, where someone can again grab it.

I wouldn't call that a delivery at all.

[westsidera]

Looks like if WALL-E and Eva could of had a kid 😅

[rahatzaman]

The video quality is so crispy!! You should regularly release phone / gadgets review.

[iKnowReview]

What a nice and insightful review 🙌 thank you!

[leehaojie]

man your studio looks so clean and comfortable

[Wimmle]

I'd have one, as a roaming smart camera it's cheap and honestly I just want a robot in my house

[calculatedrage]

I remember I took a robotics class at one point and it reminds me of when I was in charge of programming it to detect collisions to avoid it. It was my first time so the result of it was it did the opposite. This what it this exactly reminds me of!
