I am completely failing to see the "security" (as in "security guard").
It seems a clearly smart way to "keep an eye" over an area, but more like in "surveillance" than "security".
I mean - pardon me if I am still skeptical:
1) how would the robot deal with (locked) doors (or even with doors that need to be opened through a pushbar or handle)?
2) What happens in a multi-storey facility? (I mean can it go up and down stairs or use a normal lift)?
3) Is the communication protocol between the robot and the control unjammable and uninterceptable?
4) How - besides sending an alarm to a human-presided control center with an intervention time (I presume) in the order of magnitude of several minutes - can it deal with an intruder?
- jcims 9y agoProbably like the parrot in The Incredibles. Identification please...
- thedogeye 9y agoSecurity guards also don't deal with intruders. They call the police.
- jaclaz 9y ago>Security guards also don't deal with intruders. They call the police. Well, it depends on where (which country/state) and on the "kind" of security guard. I was thinking of the kind that carry a firearm, handcuffs, and similar.
- beambot 9y agoNight & weekend guards (almost universally!) do not carry firearms or even non-lethal weapons. Their job is exclusively "observe and report", and they are not permitted to physically intervene -- as a matter of policy to limit liability.

Yep, and those are generally called not "security guards", but rather "night watchmen" or "night guards".
