Zachary Fernandez

Yeah, it’s cute, but giving me Skynet nightmares lol. Amazon is the last company I’d trust listeing in, much less being able to travel around the home or leading the in-home robot trend. They’re not exactly moral or trustworthy, and they’re predatory company hellbentb on wanting to run evening and be everywhere. 🙄 The concept, itself, is pretty cool though.

It would have been great if the screen also extended out just like the camera.

Amazon doesn’t need a larger screen to spy on you …

Does anyone remember those TOMY Omnibot robots from the 80s?
Astro feels like a smart version of Omnibot.

Please read this. They are catching people steeling on the homeowners security cameras inside and outside the home. This is not working. The police are arriving after the theft has gone and still have no way of identifying the theft. Even needing the public to help identify them. They have even have photos of their face… This will not fix our crime problem. Don’t be fooled into the real reason why they really made this thing.

I love new tech but can’t imagine a use for this thing. Give me a robot that picks up groceries, cleans the litter box, does the taxes, plays the stock market, does the laundry, etc.

Personally for me I’m not into robots or sharing my feelings with robots. Because to me it acknowledges a bigger problem. In our comp 1 class we have discussed in our essay how friendships have become more digital and we feel more confident talking to robot about our feelings. And I feel this video makes the argument stronger. I feel people need to learn how to have a conversation and allow friendships to become more personal. I just don’t feel there’s enough room for robots. Of course they do have their place like if they’re going to say vacuum are carpet and stuff like that is okay. But I don’t feel like we should get used to this. One author has discussed that have we lost confidence in people that much that we need to be talking to a robot. You have to admit that’s a excellent point.

I just feel like these new products are kind of going to transform people into machines. It may be subtle but this is kind of weird. Is there a thing as of too much technology?
Cpt Cutlass
September 30, 2021 at 12:48 am
Don’t worry it can’t spy on cause it’ll chuck itself down the stairs the minute you put it on the floor

I mean I like the idea of an Astro, but agree it needs some other functionality to it like a vacuum.

Make it like a guard dog that isn’t useless so you can leave your house without worrying about burglars. Preferably the robot will be like in the Robocop movies where it will give a warning and then shoot the intruder with 100 bullets of overkill even after the intruder complies. Sounds good to me.

Astro 2 will be able to fly , like a drone. Watch and see 👀

amazon already has a flying security drone for the inside of your house

My house is on lots of different levels with steps and stairs everywhere, does that mean the robot it useless? It doesn’t looks like it does steps so it would rule it out for 90 percent of people.
Zee One

Buy one for every level
Luis Cardenas

I laugh because people think Amazon want in on their privacy as if the government doesn’t already have the power to do just that. This robot is going to amount to nothing

FascistBook might release their own version of this soon if it becomes a runaway success.

S Cren
September 30, 2021 at 8:01 pm
If the Astro ever releases widely I think it needs to be on display so you can see it in action. I wanna be able to go to a Best Buy for example and demo it. I feel like in the beginning at least people are going to want to see it in action before buying

I hate how people are so quick to buy this stuff. Its a spybot, nothing more, nothing less. If you buy this you are a sheep and a fool.
