Security robots for perimeters, gates and night rounds
Security robots that take the repetitive rounds: quadruped robots patrol fences, gates and halls at night, on gravel and slopes, and report to the control room with photos and the exact position. Guards focus on the response. The AI runs on your site, not in a foreign cloud.
Autonomous perimeter round along a fence line
A quadruped robot follows a fence line at dusk and checks it sector by sector.
What does a security robot do on a site?
A security robot takes over the repetitive rounds: fence lines, gates, car parks and empty halls, at night and over wide areas. It patrols on its own along set waypoints, watches for people or objects, and on a match stops, takes photos and alerts the control room with its exact position on the map.
- Perimeter patrol. Fence lines and sectors walked in a repeated patrol, also at night.
- Gates and entrances. A robot at the gate that watches who comes in and gives spoken notices.
- Indoor night rounds. Fixed or free routes through halls, corridors and car parks, around the clock.
- Event check. “Go to gate 3 and tell me what you see”: the robot goes, looks and reports.
Indoor halls by day, perimeter fence by night
One robot covers a busy hall and, after closing, the fence line outside.
Can a robot dog patrol a perimeter fence on its own?
Yes. Robot dog security patrols follow a sequence of waypoints along the fence on the 3D map of the site, avoid obstacles and respect no-go zones. Legs handle gravel, slopes and ground without roads. The robot localizes with its camera, so it does not depend on GPS, and every round is logged.
- Repeated patrols. The same round, again and again, with each pass logged with time and position.
- Background watch. While it walks the robot looks for people or named objects, then stops and alerts.
- Spoken notices. Text-to-speech warnings to whoever is in front of the robot.
Gravel, slopes and rocks, with no operator
Legged robots keep going where wheels stop: loose ground, steps and slopes.
Under the hood
One platform for every robot on the site
The same software runs quadruped and humanoid robots, with one configuration file per robot. A language and vision model turns the operator’s order into robot actions; a rule-based safety layer checks each action before it starts.
- Orders in plain language. An operator writes “do the round of area B” or “go to the main gate” in chat, in English or Italian. The system splits it into robot actions and reports the outcome.
- One web dashboard. Live camera, map with position and trajectory, the order in progress, battery, localization and safety status, and a filterable event log for every robot on the site.
- Positioning without GPS. The robot localizes on the 3D map of the site with OVER’s visual positioning (VPS). Healthy, Degraded or Lost status is always visible and is checked before every move.
- Rounds and patrols. To a point, along a sequence of waypoints or in a repeated patrol, avoiding obstacles. No-go zones drawn on the map are respected.
- Open-vocabulary detection. The robot finds what you name, such as people, extinguishers, ladders, open doors or equipment, and can keep watch while it moves: on a match it stops and alerts.
- Evidence and site memory. Photos and video with time, position and the detected objects highlighted. The system remembers places, sightings and tasks: “where did you see the extinguisher?”
How does an autonomous security robot work with guards and the control room?
The control room sees every robot on one web dashboard: live camera, map, battery and events. Operators give orders in plain language, approve actions the safety layer sends to a person, and can stop any robot at once. Guards then respond to verified events, with photos and the exact position.
- More coverage. Robots take the long, repetitive rounds; guards take the response.
- Every event documented. Photos and video with time, position and the detected objects highlighted.
- Face recognition, optional. For registered people such as staff, with an encrypted gallery and only where the law allows it.
Safety
The AI proposes, the rules decide
The model never moves the robot directly. Every action passes checks that do not depend on the model, and people keep the last word.
- A deterministic check before every action. Localization, navigation state, emergency stop, battery and allowed map points are checked by rules, not by the AI model. Each action is allowed, refused or sent to a person for approval.
- Automatic reflexes. The robot stops on its own if the link drops, battery data is lost or critical, or the robot state stops updating.
- Emergency stop. Always available on the dashboard and independent from the model. Only a named person can release it.
- “Stop” in chat. A stop order written while the robot moves is recognized in about 0.1 s and cancels the motion.
How to start
One pilot site, then all the others
- 01
Site survey and 3D capture
We walk the site with a 360° camera and build the 3D map the robot localizes on. We check network coverage (Wi-Fi or 4G/5G), ground and lighting.
- 02
One pilot site
Robots, dashboard and the on-site server run your rounds for about 90 days, with results measured on your site.
- 03
Roll out to more sites
Add robots and sites with the same software and the same dashboard, without redesigning anything.
Security robots: questions security managers ask
Is a perimeter patrol robot a replacement for guards?
No. It takes the repetitive and night rounds over wide areas, so guards cover more of the site and spend their time on the response. The robot reports; people decide and intervene.
Does it work at night?
Yes. Rounds run at night as well as by day, around the clock, and every pass is logged with time, position and photos.
How is privacy handled when the robot films people?
Evidence is kept for a configurable period, so footage of people expires. Face recognition is optional, limited to registered people, uses an encrypted gallery and is enabled only where the law allows it. Data stays on your site.
Does the robot need a cloud service?
No. Language and perception models run on a GPU server on your site, with no mandatory cloud service, so video and data stay on your premises. Robots connect to it over the site network through ROS 2.
Which robots does the platform run on?
Today a Unitree Go2 quadruped and a Booster T1 humanoid. The same software drives different robots through one configuration file each, and a simulator lets us test missions without the robot.
How does a pilot start?
With a site survey and a 360° capture of the area, then about 90 days on one pilot site with your own rounds. Tell us the site, the area and what the robot should do, and we scope it with you.
