…each floor. The mobile robot can also communicate with elevators to patrol multiple floors. Using autonomous robots for security offers several advantages. For example, surveillance cameras are often used for building security. However, such cameras can have blind spots, and setting up additional cameras takes cost and time. In contrast, the SQ-2 robot can patrols an entire building by taking an elevator, and security guards can choose routes that reduce or eliminate blind spots. In addition, the presence of a physical robot can deter crimes like shoplifting and reduce the need for human guards. SQ-2 has already been deployed in…
