Combined Ground-Air Robotics for Perimeter Security

This post is also available in: עברית (Hebrew)

A new technology –  DroneCore – combines airborne and ground-based drones for the ultimate robotic security system.

Asylon has developed a fully automated drone solution for perimeter security.  Now, through the partnership with Boston Dynamics, they’ll add a “DroneDog” – the Boston Dynamics unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) named Spot – to the solution.

The automated Remote Perimeter Security platform utilizes a security drone and a base station that autonomously replaces low batteries for 24/7 surveillance.  The solution is designed to provide organizations with the fastest response to emergencies and alarms. Through automated security patrols, the drone can integrate with advanced sensors or detect anomalies by itself that require a response, such as intruders or overheating machinery, and enable human response teams to be appropriately prepared for potentially dangerous threats.

Now, the solution will add a “mobile and versatile” DroneDog, to provide customers with both automated ground and aerial surveillance. “Unlike ground robots that run on wheels or tracks, Spot’s legged design makes it capable of traversing uneven and unpredictable terrain with organic, life-like motion,” says Asylon. “Its capabilities allow for organizations to employ safer and more efficient security operations while its 14KG capacity allows for organizations to add modules and features to meet their needs and multiple units can be applied for advanced perimeter monitoring” according to dronelife.com.
