Amazon has spent the past few months building a new team to develop a home robot, ithome.com reports, citing a CNBC analysis of the company's job postings [1]. A withdrawn engineer posting said the product would adapt to changing home environments and move autonomously around family members [1].

Earlier this year Amazon moved most of the Astro team to other roles and hired an MIT robotics specialist, LinkedIn profiles show [1]. What the robot is and which tasks it will perform has not been disclosed.

Astro, priced at $1,450, was shown in autumn 2021, after Jeff Bezos asked device executives in 2017 to start work on a home robot [1]. It was sold by invitation only to several thousand customers, and its business version, launched in 2023, ended within a year [1].
