The variety of security robots seem to have a way to go before they're ready for primetime. Add a mower deck and I can see it having a real purpose.

This thing is no NASA rover. I'd still prefer a highly trained and mobile Paul Blart with stationary cameras and sensors on campus to guide him.
You can't touch this.

[IPVM note: Poster is from SMP distributor]
Hi Ari - Thank you so much for covering the SMP autonomous robot! You are so right, the solution is cheaper. A higher capability at a lower cost can be achieved by the customized selection of cameras and sensor payload. It also provides a collaborative robotics (cobotics) solution, keeping guards at the command center out of harms way handling more high leverage and valuable work, especially video coverage and analysis.
And, we are super excited about the BriefCAM technology which analyzes all collected VMS data to reduce false alarms and to deliver appropriate on-site responses. Additionally, intelligent alerts provided via the sensor package heightens human guards' awareness of actionable events, either onsite or at a Central Command Center (e.g. ViSentry).
I love the comparison that prior to computers, an accountant was merely a bean counter and post computers, this same accountant is now a numerical data analyst whiz.
How can we transform the current security industry with this autonomous mobile platform? Especially given the escalating dangerous and violent world we live in, I would rather send a robot to go out and take a look around if there is suspicious activity versus a security guard. And the robot can capture data and surveillance video in hard-to-cover areas on large properties. Refineries, golf courses, farms and ranches are prime examples. In some instances, meth dealers use farm fertilizer for drug manufacturing using "Breaking Bad" style mobile trailer labs set up on premises! College campuses and nuclear power plants are some more locations where autonomous solutions can modify behavior and reduce potential soft terror targeting.
The most fantastic thing about the SMP platform (other than it is the only outdoor fully autonomous platform that can cover inclines, work in all weather and on most terrain) is how the solution architect puts it to work. This is where American creativity and ingenuity come into play!
So, what sensor payload and camera system will truly be a security force multiplier? Of course, it will depend on specific use cases. Adding a flame detection sensor for fire suppression, acoustic sensors and a 2 way intercom can chase away intruders with loud warnings and strobe lights, or use the robot to haul out tools in a 375 acre chemical detection plant with a gas cloud imaging camera mounted on the mast letting workers know to stay out of this area it is dangerous....or the bird lazer on the security robot cruising up and down airport runways monitoring for nefarious activity while keeping the bird population down so they don't fly into the airplane engines.
That is the power in the platform! And the best part of being the distributor is to have conversations with customers learning about the problems they want to solve and the results they want to achieve...Many of the solutions are not bullet proof yet and we still need to test. So welcome dreamers, doers and system integrators to the wild world of SMP Robotics. Call us if you want to have fun, innovate and make a good living. A correction to the article is weSECURE robotics focuses on the gas and oil, security, and pest control sectors.
And we are all for using the robot to chase the Canadian Geese off your properties and we hear Texas has issues with Grackles. We are bringing in the robots!

Here is my guard force replacement solution.

ha ha! That is the best thing I have seen all day. My pitch deck for getting investors, integrators, distributors interested in the robot was a pic of Paul Blart. I need to snip your guard hiding behind a cardboard guard! ha ha LOL

Before I would consider any robotic security firm, I would need a satisfactory answer to the question:
WTF?!?!? Who is Brian Karas?!?
No hints :)

Maybe it could make sense in a large installation that currently has multiple guards round the clock.
Granted that limits the target market quite a bit, but with 1 real guard working with 2 or more robots could be effective, with the human being able to make complex judgements when necessary, and the bots being able to cover and survey a wide area.

Yes - It is the customers with expansive properties to protect that have begun deploying the robots for security patrol. weSECURE Robotics is a Kickstarter Finalist at the Milestone MIPS 2017 gathering in San Antonio. If you are there, please stop by asd say Hello - Booth Number T37.
