When it comes to security guards, this robot for security can help liberate the manpower guard force of these “3D” duties and focus their atten- tion on ever-increasing demands to protect peo- ple, infrastructure and assets. The Sharp INTELLOS A-UGV will bridge the gaps that exist in outdoor surveillance, security, safety and maintenance inspection patrols with- out the requirement of hiring additional personnel or exposing them to undue risks. Furthermore, it provides a compelling advance- ment over traditional security technologies and operations through its proactive approach and not strictly reactive response using continuous data streams. Five Key Differentiators of Sharp’s Outdoor Security Robot: 1. Full life cycle of reliability, availability and ser- viceability given the 3-year parts and labor warranty, coupled with sales and service sup- port across the entire United States. 2. Tested to MIL-STD 810 (Dept of Defense) en- vironmental standards for ruggedized, con- tinuous operation under wide temperature ranges, varied terrain, and adverse weather, such as rain, snow, fog, etc. 3. Certified to ISO 13482 Standard (Internation- al Organization of Standardization – nonprof- it) for safe robotic operation around people. 4. Real-time streaming data, passed between onboard video, audio and environmental sen- sors to the CCAP (Command & Control Soft- ware) is safely and securely transmitted and encrypted using a military-grade mesh net- work for protection against hacking. 5. Hot swap, rechargeable and user-replaceable lithium batteries offer quiet (stealth) operation and with no downtime. 30
