Astro is a robot dog operated by staff via remote control, is fitted with an infrared camera with 40 times zoom, utilizes thermography and a microphone and can navigate all three levels of the facility. The beloved robot conducts inspections to spare the employees ears in extremely loud environments. When not used, Astro lives in his doghouse in the facility and recharges.
