Ever since, the company has pursued that mission the same way—listening to its neighbors, inventing, improving, and inventing again. Today, millions of people worldwide trust Ring to help protect their homes and businesses.\n\nNow, Ring is launching Ring Robotics—a new era of security that doesn’t just monitor; it moves. It patrols. It responds. It investigates. Ring Robotics takes everything customers already love and trust about Ring and puts it in motion.\n\n“For years, customers told us they wanted eyes in the places a fixed camera couldn’t reach, and peace of mind in the spots they’d never want one,” said [Jamie Siminoff](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/company-news/5-questions-with-ring-founder-jamie-siminoff), founder and chief inventor of Ring. “The honest answer wasn’t more cameras; it meant reimagining what a security device could be. That kind of invention is hard, and it takes time. But we kept at it until we got it right—and that's Ring Robotics. It’s not just a new category of security; it’s the beginning of a future where proactive, autonomous protection is something every home and every business can have.”\n\n![Ring Smart Lock on a door, with a Ring doorbell placed on the wall next to it.](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/5574d03/2147483647/strip/true/crop/1689x1126+156+0/resize/300x200!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2F04%2Fe8%2F467af05c4b43accf78a07e26553a%2Fring-smart-lock-hero-amazonnews-ck10626.jpg)\n\n- [Ring ends smart lock anxiety with a lock you can recharge by hand](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/devices/ring-smart-lock-battery-recharge)\n\nRing Robotics is launching with two firsts: Ring Drone, a flying indoor security camera, and Ring Rover, an autonomous security robot designed for business. Both work with the Ring devices and app customers already know and rely on, adding a layer of mobile protection wherever it’s needed.\n\n## Ring Robotics: powered by AI Pilot\n\nRing Drone and Ring Rover are both powered by AI Pilot, a custom-built system that uses the devices’ cameras, specialized vision models, on-device sensors, and cloud processing to see, think, and navigate autonomously.\n\nAI Pilot simplifies the customer experience, starting with setup. Simply carry Ring Drone through your space or let Ring Rover autonomously explore, and it turns what it sees into a floor plan. It intelligently identifies rooms and suggests patrol points: spots worth extra attention. This could be a side door, windows, a register, or a long corridor, helping eliminate guesswork while also allowing you to add additional points customized to your space and security preferences.\n\nWhen a patrol or flight is initiated, AI Pilot plans the most efficient route to get to a preset point based on the map it’s created. From there, it reacts in real time—autonomously navigating around furniture, shelving, and any obstacle it encounters.\n\n## Ring Drone Cam: security takes flight\n\n![Devices Ring Camera](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/672d13c/2147483647/strip/true/crop/2000x1125+0+0/resize/767x431!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2F2c%2Fca%2Fdd0c6bb84c3896a7165e4503c268%2Famazon-ring-drone-camera-amazonnews-cdlt-11092026.jpeg)\n\nRing Drone is a flying indoor security camera that goes where you need it, when you need it, and stays docked and out of sight when you don’t. It’s a first-of-its-kind Ring camera—built from the ground up with AI at its core—that gives you whole-home visibility without the need to mount a camera in every room. Key features include:\n\n- **Custom flight routes**: Set the routes, set the schedule*, and Ring Drone flies them automatically. You can also deploy it on demand at any time.\n- **Automatic incident response**: When a Ring camera, sensor, or alarm is triggered, Ring Drone automatically flies to previously set patrol points to investigate.\n- **Wall-to-wall coverage:** With a 148° field of view and the ability to rotate 360°, Ring Drone provides a whole-room view in clear 2K video.\n- **Captures video day or night**: Two built-in LED lights activate automatically in low-light environments, so you always get clear, crisp video.\n- **Seamless Ring integration**: Works with Ring cameras, doorbells, sensors, and alarms out of the box, and can be controlled from the new [Alexa Home Map](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/devices/alexa-home-map-3d-smart-home-view).\n\nWhether you’re at work, on vacation, or just upstairs, Ring Drone gives you an autonomous way to check on your home that has never existed before. Leave for the weekend and send Ring Drone on a final sweep to confirm the windows are shut. Get an alert while you’re away, and it’s already lifting off to show you what set it off. Ring Drone provides peace of mind wherever you are.\n\n![Three Ring security cameras in a lineup: floodlight cam, stick-up cam with mount, and stick-up cam on a flat surface](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/e0f11bd/2147483647/strip/true/crop/1689x1126+156+0/resize/300x200!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2Fda%2F01%2F499bedff40f989fc37e1cece41ad%2Ffreya-pr-ring-family-1-2000x1126.jpg)\n\n- [Ring introduces four new 4K cameras and a pan-tilt indoor cam](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/devices/ring-4k-cameras-pan-tilt-cam)\n\n## Ring Rover Cam: security on the move\n\n![Devices Ring Camera](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/30ce495/2147483647/strip/true/crop/2000x1125+0+0/resize/767x431!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2F7b%2F9d%2Fa5e9a5ee4e77a798f59cc0718716%2Famazon-ring-rover-camera-amazonnews-cdlt-11092026.jpeg)\n\nRing Rover is an autonomous security robot designed for business. Send it to investigate a disturbance. Schedule regular sweeps*. Get a closer look wherever and whenever you need it without the cost and complexity of wiring up every corner of every room. And since it’s a first-party Ring camera, it works alongside the cameras, doorbells, sensors, and alarms millions already rely on—one app, one account, one place to manage it all.\n\nRing Rover is the result of years of listening and learning. It was originally inspired by feedback from Amazon Astro customers who said the feature they loved most was roving security. As leaders in home and business security, the Ring team took that feedback, leveraged the best of Astro, and built something new—not a home robot that also does security, but a purpose-built security robot. One device, one purpose, built by the team that’s spent more than a decade making neighborhoods safer. Ring Rover offers:\n\n- **Comprehensive coverage**: Send Ring Rover to any room or saved patrol point with a single tap. On arrival, it performs a 360° scan to give you a comprehensive view. Front of house, back of house, storage—all covered.\n- **Scheduled patrols:** Customers can set automated routes at the intervals that work for their business. Schedule regular patrols for after close or before open, and Ring Rover covers the floor while no one’s there.\n- **Automatic incident response**: When a connected Ring device is triggered, Ring Rover autonomously checks its programmed patrol points to investigate.\n- **Periscope camera:** An adjustable mast lets Ring Rover see over counters, shelving, and obstacles. Set the height you need at each stop and save for future patrols.\n- **Active deterrence:** A built-in siren and light tower make it clear the space is protected, and two-way audio lets you speak up in real time from anywhere.\n- **Continuous video**: Ring Rover streams and records in up to 4K video whenever it is moving or patrolling, not just at designated stops. You see what happens all along the route and can review anytime*.\n- **Always alert:** Continuous person motion detection means Ring Rover can alert you and start recording the moment it detects motion in its view—even when docked.\n\nTogether, it’s like having a guard on patrol who never clocks out. Ring Rover can do a sweep of the floor after close and investigate when a sensor trips at 2 a.m.—streaming it all to your phone, wherever you are. For a business with a lot of ground to cover, Ring Rover delivers security that moves.\n\n![Ring AI video description on a mobile device](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/f277fe4/2147483647/strip/true/crop/1350x900+125+0/resize/300x200!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2F26%2F93%2F5966d3a947e384bdfb7ab8db9ff9%2Fringai-car2.gif)\n\n- [Ring debuts Video Descriptions, intelligent updates on what’s happening at home](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/devices/ring-video-descriptions-gen-ai)\n\n## Privacy and security without compromise\n\nPrivacy isn’t just a feature of Ring Robotics; it is the default. Ring Drone powers down in its dock with its camera off, waiting until a flight is triggered to begin recording. With Ring Rover, Sleep Mode retracts the periscope and turns off the microphone with a single tap. And you’ll always know when the devices are recording. Both have LED indicators, and Ring Rover tells you right on its screen.\n\nBoth are designed to be seen and heard. Ring Drone’s propellers aren‘t quiet, and Ring Rover’s light tower is bright and easy to spot. If someone’s there who shouldn’t be, a flying drone overhead or a roving robot with a siren makes it clear they’ve been spotted. Both devices are built to deter, not just monitor.\n\nAnd videos from both will be protected by [Throw Away the Key encryption (TAKE)](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/devices/ring-take-encryption), Ring’s strongest default encryption yet. Because real security should never come at the cost of your privacy.\n\n## Availability\n\nThe Ring Drone Cam will begin shipping to customers in the U.S. on January 27, 2027, for $249.99.
