obots are increasingly being used
in security and surveillance applications. Primarily used in
public areas in spaces where privacy is not expected, they have been steadily
making their way into the market since 2015.
Among their patrols are manufacturing
plants, hospitals, residential communities,
shopping malls, college campuses, corporate
campuses and parking lots/structures.
Recent technological developments in a
broad range of security-related sensors and
in autonomous self-driving technology are
driving growth and rapid adoption among
leaders in charge of public safety. Using
technology to reduce security officer costs
and maximize security budgets, such as with
access control and cameras, has been the
industry trend for years now. Autonomous
security robots are the next step in this trend
due to the cost-savings advantage and the
advanced technology they bring to a security program.

typically range between $4 and $15 per hour
when broken down to an hourly cost in comparison to security officers. It is common for the
robot manufacturers to provide them on a subscription-based model, meaning the end user
is subscribing to the service through the use of
the software and robots, similar to subscribing
to cable service or a SaaS. In most cases, the
custom setup, programming and software configuration is performed by the manufacturer.
What makes the cost of the robot especially
appealing is when all maintenance, parts and
service is performed and included by the manufacturer as part of the subscription. For systems integrators and end users new to autonomous robots, this means the learning curve
is short, typically requiring just basic training
on the software user interface. Thus, training
