Perimeter security can be hindered by the condi-
tions affecting the area, including harsh weath-
er, challenging terrains or hazardous materials,
which can affect a human guard’s ability to prop-
erly monitor and secure the site.
Security robots can operate through these ex-
treme instances, ensuring the safety of human
guards and allowing them to focus on more criti-
cal tasks.
December 2017 Edition
In addition to providing effective perimeter secu-
rity, security guard robots can assist in disaster
response and provide additional patrolling sup-
port in communities.
Cities, like Singapore and others, are already
taking advantage of the technology features,
streamlined patrolling and increased capacity
security guard robots provide.
As security solutions evolve to include answers
to the biggest challenges that today’s compa-
nies face with regard to perimeter protection,
it’s important for end users to consider new and
emerging technology that can address the key
issues they face.
Security guard robots may sound like a far-
fetched idea, but they are becoming a more
likely way for companies to realize true return on
investment and value to augment traditional pro-
tection and guarding services.

The security guard robot is being increasingly
adopted in the private sector and the successes
can be applied to assist government as well.
