Amazon’s Ring launches flying camera, autonomous security robot

Amazon’s Ring on Tuesday launched a new robotics business with two autonomous security products, a flying indoor camera for homes and a roving security robot designed for businesses, as the company expands beyond its established lineup of home-security devices.

Both devices – Ring Drone and Ring Rover – use Ring’s AI Pilot system, which combines cameras, vision models, on-device sensors and cloud processing to map spaces, identify potential patrol points and navigate around obstacles, Amazon said.

The launch marks an expansion of Ring’s security business, which began with video doorbells and has grown into a broader network of connected cameras, sensors and alarms.
