Robots are moving steadily into the surveillance market to patrol shopping malls, parking lots, college campuses, and other public areas. Surveillance robots are mainly equipped with inertial, GPS, LiDAR, biomimetic, and ultrasound-based range sensors.
The global security robot market was valued at USD 2.27 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach USD 3.59 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 7.93%, over the forecast period (2020-2025), according to mordorintelligence.com.
Organizations have been implementing robots and automation as part of their long-term strategies to take over tasks from humans in high-risk areas, and it seems COVID-19 has forced some of them to take a serious look at adoption sooner than they had planned.
The inclusion of different sensors has improved the capabilities of robots in analyzing their environment and providing more reliable data. This has significantly benefited their incorporation in military devices.

One of these robots is the new Sirius Patrol Bot, designed to augment existing security teams by serving as a force multiplier, autonomously patrolling facilities. The robot is based on AI technology to detect and report anomalies such as intruders, vehicles, and suspicious objects to security teams.
AI-enabled anomaly detection and an automated alert system allow one security operator to manage multiple robots globally through a command-and-control dashboard.
Developed by Alterra Robotics, Sirius was designed specifically to integrate with existing operations, keep personnel out of harm’s way, and allow teams to do more with fewer resources. It is suited for 24/7 repetitive, boring patrols required in outdoor perimeter security operations, according to the company.
The robot is designed to operate across large outdoor and indoor facilities
and integrates with an organization’s existing security camera network, according to roboticstomorrow.com.
