Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #1117
Hey, hey Teri here with your flash briefing for Thursday and today I want to tell you about a little bit of news that I came across a rumor, if you will.
But I think there’s some truth behind this rumor that Amazon is working on a robot and this is coming out of their experimental laboratories.
The same laboratory that originally came up with the Fire phone, which didn’t do so well and well, the Echo devices Alexa, which did do really well as we know.
And this rumor is that Amazon is now in the late prototype stage in the creation of its secret home robot, known as Vesta.
an Amazon Echo on wheels, a voice activated assistant that can navigate your home,
And what has been reported is that there are now more than 800 employees working on this robot, so they’ve got 800 employees working on it, that is a big, big investment.
What we assume and what is being reported is that this robot will basically be an Amazon Echo on wheels, a voice activated assistant that can navigate your home, respond to your commands and interface with your other smart home devices.
So this should be very interesting imagine an Alexa device, potentially, I guess following you around and taking your commands wherever you are.
So we will see what happens, I will try to keep you updated on this. I’d love to hear what you think about this, hit me up on Twitter, DrTeriFisher and what do you think of this rumored robot Vesta?
Alright, talk to you later, we the voice.
