Autonomous Security Robots (ASRs) are advanced robotic systems designed to provide security and surveillance capabilities in various environments, such as public places, offices, and warehouses. These robots can be equipped with various sensors, cameras, and advanced algorithms that allow them to navigate autonomously, detect potential security threats, and take necessary actions to mitigate them. Advanced ASRs use artificial intelligence and machine learning to learn from their surroundings and make informed decisions based on the data they collect, making them valuable tools for improving security and safety.

Security robots are gaining popularity, particularly in large indoor and outdoor facilities like cargo ports, warehouses, and energy plants. They offer a cost-effective alternative to fully human-based security operations, augmenting the human workforce and achieving better security outcomes. However, evaluating and selecting the right ASR for your business can be challenging.

Automated Patrol with Human Intervention

Choosing an Autonomous Security Robot that can independently patrol areas and provide a live video feed is crucial for effective security solutions. These ASRs offer continuous and comprehensive surveillance, detecting potential threats in real-time and allowing operators to respond promptly. Remote control capability is also essential, providing operators with flexibility and responsiveness to address threats and adjust the robot's movements or viewing angle when needed.

ASRs with autonomous patrolling capabilities significantly reduce the workload of human security personnel, enabling them to focus on other tasks that require their expertise. Continuous monitoring by ASRs helps prevent incidents before they occur and provides valuable data and insights into potential security threats, optimizing security strategies and protocols.

Opting for an ASR with autonomous patrolling capabilities, live video feed relaying, and remote control functionality is an essential component of an effective security solution. It establishes a comprehensive and responsive surveillance system that improves safety and security, reduces human workload, and provides valuable data for security optimization.

Customizable ASR Ability

Customizable visual detection algorithms play a vital role in autonomous security robots by enabling them to detect and analyze visual data accurately. These algorithms are designed to recognize specific objects, patterns, and movements, making it easier to identify potential threats. For example, an autonomous security robot equipped with customizable visual detection algorithms can detect and identify unauthorized personnel, suspicious activity, potential hazards, or misplaced equipment. This ability can help prevent theft, damage, and other security incidents. Being able to modify the patrolling robot’s behavior to the specific security role and environment is essential for a successful application of an ASR.

Map markings are an example of how customizable visual detection algorithms can enhance the effectiveness of an autonomous security robot. Map markings are digital overlays that indicate the location of various objects and areas on a map. These markers can be customized to show important information, such as restricted areas, security cameras, and access points. For example, areas of the patrol map where people should not be present, can be marked and allow for quick detection of trespassers. By integrating map markers with customizable visual detection algorithms, autonomous security robots can use this information to detect and respond to potential security threats more quickly and efficiently.

When deciding on a specific autonomous security robot, the importance of customizable sensor packages cannot be overstated. These sensor packages allow the robot to detect and measure various environmental factors, providing critical information to security personnel. By customizing the sensor packages to meet specific security needs, the robot can be tailored to the environment it will operate in, ensuring maximum effectiveness. For example, if the environment is prone to gas leaks or other hazardous conditions, the ASR can be customized to include gas and thermal sensors. By using a customizable sensor package, security personnel can rely on the robot to provide real-time observations of gas leaks or unsafe temperature changes. Both would be essential functions for an ASR patrolling energy and chemical facilities.

Both customizable visual detection algorithms and customizable sensor packages are essential features to look for when choosing an autonomous security robot. These features provide the robot with the ability to detect and respond to potential security threats more quickly and efficiently. At Fremont Robotics, we believe that custom detection algorithms and custom sensor packages are essential to ensure the robot is tailored to the specific security role and environment it will operate in. By investing in a suitable and customizable autonomous security robot, organizations can enhance their security measures and provide a higher level of safety to their employees, customers, and assets.

Security Operations Center

To get the most out of security automation, staff need a web and mobile based command system. A web-based console provides security personnel with a full view of the security situation, giving them real-time information about potential security threats. The console also enables the operator to control the robot remotely, allowing them to respond quickly and effectively to any security incidents.

In addition, staff on the move should be equipped with mobile apps for alerting and remote operation. These apps allow security operators to receive alerts and notifications directly to their mobile device, ensuring that they can respond to any security incidents, even when they are not at the operation center.  

A full-featured cloud operations center also integrates with existing security systems, enabling the robot to work in tandem with other security measures such as alarms and IP-based cameras.

Finally, cloud-based recording and auditing of all captured footage are another crucial feature of a cloud-based operation center. Storing footage offsite in high-reliability cloud storage ensures that the data is secure and easily accessible, even in the event of a security breach or equipment failure.
