Amazon's Ring launches Ring Robotics with indoor drone and business robot

What's new

Ring, an Amazon business, announced Ring Robotics, which it presents as a new product category: self-directed security devices that move around. Two products launch with it. Ring Drone Cam is a flying indoor camera that, Ring says, provides whole-home visibility by flying custom routes. Ring Rover Cam is a security robot for businesses that patrols by itself, checks on disturbances and can stream video at up to 4K. Ring says both rely on AI Pilot, which builds a floor plan, proposes patrol points and steers around obstacles. According to Ring, it draws on the devices' cameras, specialized vision models, sensors built into the devices and processing in the cloud.

Why it matters

According to Ring, the devices are meant to reach spots a fixed camera cannot cover and to react when a connected Ring camera, sensor or alarm goes off. Ring says both work with its existing devices and app. The company says the drone powers down in its dock with the camera off, and that Rover has a Sleep Mode that retracts its periscope and turns off the microphone. Ring also says videos from both will use its Throw Away the Key encryption.

Details

In the U.S., Ring Drone Cam is priced at $249.99 and begins shipping January 27, 2027. Ring notes the drone has not yet been authorized under Federal Communications Commission rules and cannot be sold or leased until authorization is obtained. Ring Rover Cam costs $999.99, can be preordered now, and begins shipping in the U.S. December 16, 2026. Ring says the drone offers a 148-degree field of view, 360-degree rotation and 2K video. Rover has a periscope mast, siren, light tower and two-way audio. Scheduled flights, patrols and video review require a compatible Ring Protect plan.
