Ring Launches Robotics Division with Home Security Drone and Enterprise Robot
Ring, a subsidiary of Amazon, has announced the formation of 'Ring Robotics' to expand into automated security. The company unveiled two new products: the Ring Drone Cam, an indoor flying camera for residential use, and the Ring Rover Cam, a roving robot designed for enterprise environments. Both devices utilize a proprietary AI system called 'AI Pilot' to navigate autonomously and map spaces. The drone features 2K video capabilities and integrates with existing Ring alarm systems, while the enterprise robot offers 4K streaming, periscope cameras, and two-way audio. This move follows Amazon's previous attempt at home robotics with Astro, which failed to gain significant market traction. Despite potential privacy concerns regarding autonomous surveillance, Ring claims both devices utilize 'TAKE' encryption to protect user data.
