Earlier this week , Amazonunleashed a precious robot nightmarein the form of Astro , a $ 1,000 robot that patrols your home , though some leaked document suggest it ’s basically a dumb but invasive undercover agent . Let ’s face it , this small guy is doomed . How do we do it ? Because if you ’ve been around gismo long enough , we ’ve seen this all before . Kuri , Jibo , Vector — these are just some of Astro ’s fall comrades , and it did n’t weigh how lovely they were . People just do n’t seem to have any interest in automaton , no matter of whether they have eyes or loving cup holder or can continuously surveil a rest home .
Here are eight of the cutest golem that land in the trashpile of failed consumer electronics . Maybe Astro is next .
