Droid Patrol

What security patrol robots do, and what they need from people.

Patrol robots roll or walk a fixed route, record video and sensor data, and alert a human when something is off. They extend a security team; they do not replace its judgment.

01

What a patrol robot typically carries

  • Cameras for day and low light
  • Thermal imaging for heat sources
  • Microphones and two-way audio
  • Mapping sensors to follow a route and avoid obstacles
02

Where they fit

  • Large parking areas and yards at night
  • Long perimeter fences
  • Warehouses after hours
  • Repeating rounds that people find tedious
03

Plan the human side

Decide who watches the alerts, how fast they respond, where recordings are stored and for how long, and how visitors are told that a robot records video.
