Amazon announced Astro in September 2021 as a home robot; that version of the device is still only available as a $1,600, invite-only preview .
In November, Amazon pivoted Astro to SMBs. But as first reported by GeekWire , Amazon on Wednesday sent emails to employees working on Astro for Business and customers telling them that the devices will stop working on September 25.

Any patrol or investigation videos recorded by Astro will still be available in your Ring app until your video storage time expires or your Ring Protect subscription ends." According to The Verge , the email adds:
The 12-metre high machine has coke bottle eyes and a crude Wall-E-like head, as well as large arms that can be fitted with blades or paint brushes

Starting this month, the large machine with enormous arms, a crude, disproportionately small Wall-E-like head and coke-bottle eyes mounted on a truck – which can drive on rails – will be put to use for maintenance work on the company’s network.
