In depth

Ring, owned by Amazon, unveiled a home security drone that flies between rooms for $250. The model will reach the market at the end of January and relies on cloud-based artificial intelligence. The drone can fly for five to eight minutes, and according to the details released, it records in 2K quality and detects obstacles.

At the same time, the company unveiled an autonomous robot for businesses priced at $1,000, based on the Astro robot. The product patrols buildings and, as noted, is intended for business use. Amazon Ring made the decision to launch the products after more than six years of delays and two abandoned versions.

The drone is designed to stream what happens in the home directly to the resident's phone. The flight is short, and its operation depends entirely on the internet.
