Just 7 months after its launch, Amazon announces the retirement of its security robot for enterprises.

According to the technology media TechCrunch, Amazon (AMZN.O) has decided to stop production of the security robot ‘Astro for Business’ for small and medium-sized enterprises, just 7 months after its launch. In an email sent to customers and employees on Wednesday, Amazon stated that the reason for shelving Astro for Business is simple: Amazon wants to focus on its home version Astro. An Amazon spokesperson stated in a statement: ‘We are fully committed to bringing world-class consumer robot solutions into homes.’ ‘In order to accelerate our progress and ongoing research to make Astro the best home robot, we have decided to reduce support for Astro for Business. We are excited about the home experience invented for Astro and look forward to sharing more in the future.’
