Amazon is opening a new Consumer Robotics Software Development Center in Bengaluru. This site will help support Amazon’s Consumer Robotics division, which just launched its first robot last year, Astro.
Astro is a new and different kind of robot, one that’s designed to help customers with a range of tasks like home monitoring and keeping in touch with family. It brings together new advancements in artificial intelligence, computer vision, sensor technology and voice and edge computing in a package that’s designed to be helpful and convenient.
The Vice President of Consumer Robotics at Amazon Ken Washington said, “This new Consumer Robotics Software Development Center will help support our growing consumer robotics division and attract top talent to work on world-class technology products.”
