Amazon debuts AI-powered Ring security drone and rover, shipping from late 2026
Ars Technica AI · rss · 2026-11-11
Amazon announced two Ring security products on November 10: the Ring Rover Cam (wheeled patrol robot) and Ring Drone Cam (indoor security drone), expected to reach customers from late 2026 and early 2027 respectively. Both rely on an "AI Pilot" system combining cameras, specialized vision models, on-device sensors and cloud processing to plan patrol routes and autonomously navigate around obstacles like furniture. Setup builds a digital floor plan, either by the customer carrying the drone through spaces or letting the Rover explore autonomously. The article notes these autonomously patrolling devices will likely intensify privacy concerns raised around Amazon's earlier flying camera attempt.
