Astro hasn’t yet become available for purchase, and now the executive who was responsible for its development has left the company.
That executive, Ken Washington, Amazon’s VP of consumer robotics, is leaving the company to seek an external opportunity.
According to reports, this is just the latest in a series of big staff departures at Amazon.
Last week it was reported that Amazon was working on a new generative AI technology called Burnham that could make Astro smarter or power an entirely new robot.
Here’s a sampling of recent departures: Lab126 team member Lindo St. Angel.
Washington is part of Amazon’s Lab126 development team, and he’s not the only recent big employee to leave the company as per reports by GeekWire.
