Astro for Business is aimed at retailers, manufacturers, and other industries as a security guard that can patrol for break-ins and other threats.
Amazon has a new job for its Astro robot: A roving security guard in stores to detect break-ins and other threats.
Astro for Business is launching only in the U.S. to start, and it comes at a steep price point of $2,349.99.
Amazon is also offering a suite of security products in tandem with Astro for Business for an added fee, such as Ring Protect Pro, which can link Astro to Ring sensors and motion detectors.
A virtual security guard service allows Astro to notify remote security centers of a potential threat, such as an unrecognized person, breaking glass or smoke.
