Amazon’s Quiet Quest for a Home‑Buddy
After launching the Kindle and Echo, Amazon is rumored to be cooking up something new under the code name Vesta—a secret public‑home robot that might strap on a little Alexa head.
Who’s the mastermind?
- Gregg Zehr, chief engineer of Amazon’s Lab126, the same R&D arm that birthed the Echo speakers, Fire TV boxes, Fire tablets and the legendary Fire Phone.
- Lab126, headquartered in sunny Sunnyvale, CA, is the playpen where Amazon’s hardware dreams come to life.
What does Vesta bite on?
The details are hush‑hush, but insiders hint the robot could be a mobile version of Alexa—driving around the house, maybe handing you a coffee while reciting the weather.
Rumors and Reality
An Amazon spokesperson shrugged off speculation, saying the company won’t comment on “rumors and speculation.” If your devices whisper your name, maybe the whisper will soon come from a real robot instead of a still‑quiet gadget.
