Security & inspection

Patrol, inspection, night rounds

Quadruped robots for perimeter patrol, infrastructure inspection and night rounds. For industrial sites, warehouses, data centers and oil & gas facilities.

What gets automatedS·01

Typical processes for robotisation

◢ SCOPE · IND-SECURITY05 PROC · 03 CLASS
  1. 01

    Regular perimeter patrol on a route

  2. 02

    Industrial infrastructure inspection (pipelines, cabling, equipment)

  3. 03

    Night rounds with thermal imaging and LIDAR

  4. 04

    Anomaly detection — unusual temperature, leaks, motion

  5. 05

    Data feed into video / SCADA

Example configurationS·02

How it comes together as a project.

A 38-hectare logistics park: a dock station + Matrice 350 with a thermal camera. Night rounds every 2 hours across 14 waypoints; an IR-sensor alarm means takeoff within 90 seconds with a live feed to the guard post. The security shift was reduced by two posts with no loss of coverage.

◬ LimitsS·03

Where robots don't help yet

OPERATIONAL LIMITS / OUT OF SCOPE
Limits
  • Doesn't replace a guard physically — it's a sensor, not a force response

  • Complex built-up environment (factories with moving structures) — reliability drops

  • Regulation around autonomous security systems — country-dependent

  • Autonomy time — 2—4 hours depending on model and load

Where we don't operate

To save your time and ours, we name the tasks we don't cover upfront. If your case mainly overlaps with one of these — we're likely not the right partner.

  • Alarm response and physical perimeter security

  • Security-industry licensing

  • Integration with government surveillance systems

  • Hiring and training of on-site guards

Reference casesS·04

The same class of solution already runs in this industry

Our job is to open access to the same class of equipment and integration for a site of your size, with local service.

Questions for an estimateS·05

What we need to know to give a concrete estimate

These parameters drive configuration and budget. If you know some of them — that's already enough to start the conversation.
