Amazon launches flying house guard robot

Amazon's Ring has launched a patrolling home security drone called Ring Drone Cam, designed to monitor properties. Weighing 165 grams, it can fly around the house and alert owners to suspicious activity using its 148-degree camera. The drone integrates with other Ring products and can patrol regularly or respond to alerts from other sensors. It operates for 5-8 minutes before needing an 8-minute recharge and can return to its charging station. The development faced challenges, but advancements in AI allowed for improved functionality. Concerns about how pets react to the drone were addressed, with most pets reportedly indifferent.
