Drones and Robotics
Advanced robotics have furthered the development of autonomous systems, which increasingly have produced unmanned platforms for security applications. Robots that can defuse bombs, for example, can mitigate specific threats while safeguarding human lives. So too have drones widened the use of video surveillance from the air. SIA tracks the latest developments in such technologies for its members.
Enhancing Security & Reducing Expenses With Robotics
Security robots can help deter bad actors and effectively perform monotonous or dangerous tasks, and their abilities extend beyond security, making them multi-functional, autonomous remote services platforms.
