亚马逊表示，Astro for Business机器人集合了机器人技术、智能安全和人工智能（AI）等先进技术。它可以自主移动或通过遥控移动，自动巡逻监控周围环境，并在发现异常情况时立即发出警报。这意味着，企业可以获得24小时全天候的保护。
安全一直是美国企业主非常头疼的问题，全美零售联合会发布数据显示，2022年，美国入店行窃和有组织的零星犯罪导致零售企业损失了近1000亿美元。大型零售商经常表示担心盗窃会侵蚀他们的利润，有些零售商甚至被迫关闭商店。而亚马逊此次推出Astro for Business机器人，则为中小型企业提供了一种新的、有效的安全解决方案。据悉，Astro for Business的售价为2349.99美元，不过目前仅在美国本土推出。
亚马逊此次的新动作，是其在人工智能和机器人技术领域的又一重要布局。相信在不久的将来，随着技术的不断进步和应用领域的不断拓展，人工智能和机器人技术将会在更多领域得到广泛应用。
