GoKawiilAmazon unveils Ring Rover Cam, an Astro-based patrol robot for businesses
Amazon has introduced Ring Robotics, a new division focused on proactive security, launching a wheeled robot called the Ring Rover Cam. Built on the design of Amazon's earlier Astro home robot, the device can patrol pre-set routes, be manually directed to specific locations, or automatically respond when another Ring device triggers an alarm, streaming and recording video throughout. It features an upgraded 4K telescoping periscope camera, a built-in siren, a flashing red light, and a blue light projector to help locate it in large spaces like warehouses.

The move signals Amazon's push to extend Ring beyond passive home monitoring into active, business-facing security robotics, potentially opening a new commercial market for the company. Repurposing Astro's hardware suggests Amazon is finding fresh commercial applications for a consumer product that saw limited uptake, which could help justify its continued development.
