The Alpha 2 isn't just nimble, it's quite smart as well. The robot's brain is connected to the cloud which allows it to leverage far more visual and audio processing power than what could be physically implanted in its plastic skull. These capabilities allow the Alpha 2 to perform a variety of tasks, from managing your calendar and providing remote home monitoring to tutoring your kids and entertaining pets. The company did not elaborate on how, exactly, it would entertain your pet but I assume it involves letting your cat push this $500 droid off of the kitchen counter.
