THE NEXT WAVE OF ROBOTIC TECH IS HERE!

Since the ‘70s, household robots have been an American fantasy. Engineers have been tirelessly working and building machines to automate everyday tasks with limited success — until recently. The success of the Roomba kicked off an explosion in consumer robotics, while developments in AI make them brighter than ever. Here are four new robots built to make life that much easier. AMAZON ASTRO: The Astro is Amazon’s first foray into consumer robotics. Designed to work with the Ring system, its primary directive is defending the home. It has a powerful scanner to detect any threats, whether burglars or gas leaks, and it alerts you while recording it on the Ring app. And it’s capable of much more than just that: It can check your blood pressure, charge phones, and more. Unfortunately, the Astro is expensive, coming in at around $1,599. ORo: Ever wish you could play with your dog anytime, anywhere? The ORo might be just what you’re looking for. It plays fetch and records anything unusual with your dog's behavior. While you’re away, you can also video chat with your pups in an interactive setting. The ORo hasn’t been released yet, but it’s projected to cost around $800.

MOXIE: This friendly blue robot is built to teach young children from ages 5–10. It has an expressive human-like face, ensuring children feel comfortable.

Moxie teaches all sorts of skills, from problem- solving to regulating emotion. It also has plenty of game options to keep kids entertained. Moxie costs $799, but it can be purchased refurbished.

MATIC: The floor-cleaning Matic takes the old Roomba to the next level. It not only vacuums; it mops and cleans spills, too. The Matic has intelligent pathfinding, allowing it to avoid obstacles, including toys and feet. Once the bag fills up, it automatically parks next to the trashcan. This premium robot comes at a premium price of around $1,795. Companies are working hard to create the newest wave of advanced robotics. So, if you’re interested in awe-inspiring automatons, you have plenty to be thrilled about.
