Secom has come up with an autonomous flying surveillance robot that,
when working in a pack or in tandem with one another, would be able to
deliver added peace of mind. Considering how the world has turned out to
be a more and more dangerous place by the day, it makes perfect sense
to enlist whatever kind of help possible to help you in securing your
property or area where you live. Just how does Secom’s autonomous flying
surveillance robots work? For instance, whenever there is an
unauthorized person or vehicle that enters a parking lot of commercial
facilities, manufacturing plant, site of a storehouse, or other sites
where it patrols, the robot will approach said person or vehicle,
followed by snapping photos of it. This would come in handy for security
forces to track a suspicious looking vehicle, as well as operate in
areas where there are no surveillance cameras or cameras which are too
far away to capture a decent shot or video recording.
Of course, it does make one wonder
whether someone with malicious intent would just shoot down these
robots, and will the robot be smart enough to perform evasive maneuvers?
Perhaps, or I might just be getting my imagination ahead of me. Still,
this would greatly assist security forces around buildings to perform a
more thorough check and patrol of the area for sure, and assuming
Secom’s flying robots go about their business quietly, these mechanical
automatons might just be stealthy enough to capture a robbery in
progress.
The robot will carry a laser sensor, camera, communication device,
computer, and LED lamps among others, measuring around 80cm in diameter
while tipping the scale at 1.6kg. It has a battery reserve that allows
it to fly non-stop for approximately 15 minutes, and we do wonder what
kind of CMOS sensor this bad boy to carry, as not all places it is going
to patrol will be well lighted, and is there a flash function built-in?
