Autonomous Security Robots (ASRs) and AI software for hyper-vigilant physical security.
Knightscope is a pioneer in the Machine-as-a-Service (MaaS) security sector, deploying fully autonomous security robots (ASRs) integrated with a proprietary AI-driven Security Operations Center (KSOC). Technically, the hardware utilizes a sensor fusion architecture including Lidar, ultrasonic sensors, and 360-degree 4K video feeds to perform Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). In 2026, Knightscope's market position is defined by its ability to augment human security forces with hyper-consistent patrol capabilities, utilizing edge AI for real-time threat detection. The system processes over 90 terabytes of data per year per robot, identifying anomalies such as unauthorized personnel, known 'persons of interest' via Signal Detection (MAC address analysis), and Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR). Their technology stack is designed to mitigate risks in corporate campuses, hospitals, and parking structures where traditional static cameras fail to provide mobile presence and active deterrence. By offloading monotonous patrol tasks to autonomous systems, organizations can reduce physical security overhead while increasing data-driven response times and forensic accuracy.
