Ring Robotics: Ring's new autonomous camera drone watches homes

Ring has set up a robotics division, Ring Robotics, and shown a drone that monitors apartments on its own while flying, plus a surveillance robot.

A camera that flies through your home by itself: that is the idea behind the latest project from Ring. The company has created a new robotics division called Ring Robotics and has shown an autonomous surveillance drone.

The drone is meant to monitor apartments on its own, in flight, without someone steering it. Alongside it, Ring presented a surveillance robot. So the company is moving beyond fixed doorbells and cameras toward devices that move around.

What is Ring Robotics?

Ring Robotics is the new robotics unit inside Ring, the home security brand. It is the home for the two devices shown so far, the flying camera and the robot.

The available information is thin. Details such as price, release date, markets, battery life or how footage is handled have not been provided, so none of that is clear yet.

For anyone who already uses a Ring camera, the practical question is how a roaming device fits into a home with other people in it. That includes privacy, and the answers will have to come from Ring as the products take shape.
