The term security robot belongs to the categories of automation, cybercrime and cybersecurity, and robots. Security robots are special robots that have been developed to protect people and property. They patrol buildings, car parks or warehouses and recognise unusual situations, such as a break-in or fire.
A security robot, for example, is equipped with cameras, sensors and microphones. This technology allows it to closely monitor its surroundings around the clock. If the robot registers something conspicuous, for example a person who is on a company site at night without authorisation, it automatically sounds the alarm or notifies a security service. This enables a rapid response to potential dangers.
An illustrative example: A security robot regularly patrols a large logistics centre. It uses its cameras to detect an open door that should actually be locked and immediately reports this to the control centre. This means that security gaps can be closed immediately before any damage occurs.
Security robots therefore help companies to increase security and reduce risks - efficiently and around the clock.
