Mentioned:
Amazon’s Ring officially has a new line of products: drones and robots.
What’s happening:
- Amazon's (NASDAQ: AMZN) subsidiary Ring has launched a new line of autonomous security devices for homes and businesses known as Ring Robotics
Why it matters:
- Ring Robotics is initially launching a patrol robot known as Rover Cam and a indoor drone known as Drone Cam
Going deeper:
- Ring Robotics’ Rover Cam and Drone Cam both have their own cameras and work with Ring’s existing cameras, sensors and alarms
- Both the Rover Cam and Drone Cam run on the same navigation systems known as AI Pilot, which is capable of mapping indoor spaces, suggesting patrol points and navigating around obstacles autonomously
The fine print:
- Ring still needs approval from the Federal Communications Commission before it can sell their drone to consumers in the United States
