Daleks can EXTERMINATE the stairs! Seems a bit too dumb but it's great that they are doing this and maybe it gets a bit smarter by launch.The price is favorable though and that makes it a lot easier to market this. They should add a bit of modularity to be able to add some hardware. Hopefully they don't cripple it with mandatory payed services, that would be the worst thing they could do and it's fashionable nowadays.
Did anybody watch the video? I have not seen a script that bad and acting so terrible for a long, long time. Fairly alright camera and audio work, although it felt like they tried too hard to be something they aren't quite ready to be.
The promo video is a brow-raiser, but I'm otherwise looking forward to seeing this out in the wild, and how well it lives up to its various use cases outside of a glossy video production. How well can it navigate a house, locate people, and infer context? I hope Asus sends AnandTech a review sample, lol.
For $599 you could probably just buy several Amazon Echo or Google Home devices and leave one in each room of the house... I fail to see how the roving capabilities add much beyond the fact that it looks like a Wall-E/BB-8 offspring.
Hey but it looks so cool... to have of of these following u around... Imagine if they could leave the house, they are ur new pet lol except that it doesnt have any needs.

True garbage. Increase the processing power by 1,000x or include a neuromorphic chip and then we'll talk.Impulses - Tuesday, May 31, 2016 - link
