Amazon Will Brick Its $2,350 Astro Robots Just 10 Months After Release
Business customers will get a refund, and the home version still exists.
Amazon is bricking all Astro for Business robots on September 25. It first released the robot about eight months ago as a security device for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) for $2,350, but the device will soon be a pricey new addition to Amazon's failed products list.
Amazon announced Astro in September 2021 as a home robot; that version of the device is still available as a $1,600, invite-only preview.
