Amazon has unveiled a canine-like home robot assistant called Astro. The Alexa-powered, wheel-based bot is designed for a range of functions, including home security, communication, entertainment, and transportation (in its slick promo video, it's seen carrying a beer, though it doesn't have a robotic arm to actually grab one). Astro has a cute look, too, mainly thanks to its big round "eyes" that appear on a display located at the front of the machine.
