Sharp INTELLOS A-UGV
Here’s one relatable example. Think about how
we apply for jobs these days.
In the “human” resource management (ironic as
this may sound) function of recruiting, you likely
do not interact with a person until you are through
2-3 layers of automated vetting.
Company recruiters have relinquished the re-
dundant tasks associated with their roles, such
as preliminary resume reviews and scheduling
interviews, to automation.
Allowing a computer to handle these administra-
tively intense aspects of the job, recruiters can
focus on higher value functions that require inter-
personal skills and greater subjectivity.
Security guards, like HR recruiters, have
mundane daily routines ideally suited
for robotic intervention, such as perim-
eter patrol.
The Sharp INTELLOS A-UGV normalizes per-
formance of routine work and provides impartial
data observations.
Guards are taken out of harm’s way and refo-
cused on other critical security tasks they may
otherwise not have time or attention for.
Integrating this extra layer of robotic protection to
your security may also reduce insurance costs.
All of this makes the automation of security a
logical progression for businesses.
To be a solution to both public and private front-
line protectors, Sharp has subjected our outdoor
robot to third-party evaluation and standardiza-
tion.
This is aligned to Sharp’s business philosophy
“to use our unique, innovative technology to con-
tribute to the culture, benefits, and welfare of
people throughout the world.”
Here are some things Sharp has done to instill
consumer confidence in our product:
During these patrols, there is inherent danger
and at times adverse climate conditions, which
put manpower at risk and lead to variations in
their performance.
These variations in the form of alertness and
diminished capacity can impact quality and pro-
ductivity.
MIL-STD 810 Tested
Sharp follows military test standards to rep-
licate the effect of various environments and
conditions on our outdoor robot.
