"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enit's finally here inside this giant box is the Amazon Astro we're going to unbox it set it up and talk through First Impressions let's get right to it okay so apparently this is one of these boxes I just need to peel pop and lift which sounds like a a dance move all right and then I probably got to peel the other side too all right step step one complete oh and this this one just came out maybe that's what it's supposed to do pops out yes okay it's about to lift off here we go oh hi buddy Astro's here okay so in the Box they have gloves that are meant to keep sanitary Astro looks Dusty maybe this is part of the thing with sending out like prototypes Astro is very much in their experimental phase it's invite only right now it costs $11,000 maybe it'll get a full release and at that point it might have more refined packaging but yeah there's actual dust on this thing which is odd okay so I've got a big box here that says hello home let's let's roll so we've got instructions a welcome kit this might be the charge base yeah okay it looks very similar to a robot vacuum charge base oh cup holders Astro is able to navigate your space and you can put a beer in Astro and say hey go find Chris my producer cuz he looks like he could really use a drink and in theory it will be able to do that okay so getting rid of that package here and I think this one's empty so we're cleaning the space all we have are some sanitary gloves and a charging station and we're getting rid of that too and that for now and I honestly don't understand why I need these uh but we'll keep the welcome kit around and then I'm going to see how oh boy yeah it's heavy and so now we've got Astro wheeling and ready to Adventure and you know just not on yet we actually do have to turn the thing on so I'm curious about how that's going to go yeah welcome guide we've got we've got stickers here in including parts and a little the whole thing here is that it has a whole bunch of sensors built in to help it be able to navigate so that's why a lot of these logos and stuff for it are arrows I guess I am excited to actually get to meet this thing boy I hope I make a good first impression we're going to need to plug it in it is very exciting we haven't had a home robot with this many capabilities ever that's actually come to Market we don't know if it's going to be fully coming to Market or if it's going to die like a number of other Amazon products it still fills me with some nerves and some trepidation here because it is also kind of a home surveillance nightmare it's recording everything from your home and it can go anywhere we notice buttons up top this is where you're going to be able to mute it and turn off the camera if you want to preserve your privacy we've got I think volume buttons here and the Periscope camera you can see it right here it's going to be able to pop out and look around and then otherwise there's a few things I don't know what they do and honestly I'm going to stop looking at it while it's off we're going to download the app plug it in and turn the thing on and see what Amazon Astro can do in action and Astro just opened its eyes for the very first time and it's looking around oo Esther's taking off estra is just hitting the road all right we see it Periscope cam for the first time and it's making a little Smiley eyes as it does circles okay the beeps and boops are cute Astro take this to the kitchen so the next step we have to do is set up the app so that we can sync the app with the robot this is the step that we were just expecting it's told us specifically to open the doors where we want it to be able to access rooms close doors to closets clear the floors of small objects let's go ahead and get it going it's getting the lay of the land it's got to get to know things coming into the workout room just taking a look at the master bedroom and being like I know no one actually lives here it took it three tries to be able to map our floors the first time I was really really hopeful it was making good progress but after way more than 30 minutes it stopped because it got confused by the stairs the next time after only like 10 it got lost when it was standing right next to its charging station it could be we have a faulty unit we talked to Amazon and they're going to send us a new one it could also be that this is an experimental product because it succeeded when we made accommodations for it we blocked out the sunlight to make our floors less shiny these are hardwood but they're not like particularly shiny so that would probably be a deal breaker for some folks also you'll notice our lovely new cardboard decorations we have in front of the railing of the stairs because it was getting confused by that railing because it didn't read it as a wall so unusual architecture in a home might be able to mess up this experimental product we're finally done setting it up now we actually get to play around with it Astro act like a bird that's some weird tricks with your eyes pal but yeah all right that sounded like a bird Astro take a selfie oh oh okay so selfie it's not taking a picture of it it's taking a picture of me okay hello get ready okay I'm ready oh my god let's see what does to Amazon photos look so uncomfortable that is wonderful that is a wonderful picture Astro you did great thank you for capturing that moment Astro Down Periscope all right that's kind of cool that that command works so we are also going to have it bring me a cold beverage and follow me around the room here we go Astro take a drink to Andrew in the living room so my producer Hobie has just put a cold tasty beverage into the cup holder attachment of Astro and then instructed Astro to find me in the living room and bring me the beverage so we're going to see how well it does this I'm not allowed to help right I'm not allowed to get up and wave at it it has to look around the living room has multiple different parts there's Furniture between me and it so it has to navigate a few obstacles and it has to recognize that the living room has multiple parts so we'll see if it's able to do this test and find me and recognize me uh so that I may quench my thirst so it's come up to this for first obstacle and it's trying its darnest and now here it goes it's coming around all right we're within range do you see me I right here I think we got it okay but now delivering a drink to Andrew and there it goes it's turning around and I now have this thank you AST Astro follow me yeah sometimes this command has been hit or miss let's try one more time Astro follow me uh you're coming but do you know where you're going there you go hey hi following okay I think we got it now are you going to be able to avoid this chair we're going to try to go to the bedroom that sounds creepier than it is just to see if the following thing works here we go we'll play Ring Around the Rosie we're going to go back around this way it's doing a pretty good job I have my own personal uh helper it's it's a little bit creeping me out as we go that I have this thing chasing me even though though I told it to do that my figh ORF flight reaction is kicking in it just told me it can't keep up okay all right I get you it's cool all right can we turn around can we do uh a 180 here yeah a can't keep up okay that's fine you did it Astro stop pretty successful one day into testing Astro and here's what we know so far but I'm going to mute my friend here so that it doesn't hear some of the things I have to say not all of which are positive such as the fact that it still very much feels like an experimental piece of technology we had to put cardboard around the railings of the staircase in order to stop it from getting confused while it was mapping similarly we had to block out the sunlight because the floors were too shiny so this legitimately might not work for some homes that seemingly have nothing out of the ordinary about them but we don't know that for sure we're going to talk to Amazon and we're going to test those capabilities much more in depth in the days to come still what we can say it is probably because this is an experimental piece of technology and an expensive one at that $1,000 to put an experiment in your home feels like a lot but I got to tell you I still find it kind of adorable like really when it was following me around and being like slow up I I'm I'm trying to keep up with you or when it was trying to deliver me a beverage and then it seemed like it was excited when it recognized me and it dashed towards me man I wanted to pick it up and give it a hug so against my better judgment I kind of like it but I still don't know if I if
