Using robotics to power security industries

Have you noticed things hovering over events, delivering post, or images of robots walking around shopping centres? As artificial intelligence makes robots smarter, it improves their ability to anticipate and respond to situations the same way a human would.

Robots are often overlooked due to their price. In the long run, they end up saving you money. Permanent security devices require a huge amount of infrastructure. When replaced with mobile versions, detection points, cameras, and sensors can be used alongside robotic devices that require minimal upkeep.

The greatest challenge with robotics and autonomous solutions, is finding a way to keep them connected. Rajant provides wireless mesh networks, using Kinetic Mesh technology, that gives consistent, reliable coverage across virtually any space, regardless of the property size or physical obstacles.

Robotics can improve security in a wide range of environments, especially those that face an elevated risk of attack from criminals or terrorists. It can be hard to create a blanket of security across large sites. This is where robotics comes in.

You can place robots across large surface areas and in a range of environments, such as wooded areas, between large concrete walls, or hilly terrains. They are able to move freely, whilst staying connected using Kinetic Mesh.

Kinetic Mesh uses radios, or nodes, that automatically identify and transmit to others, continually adjusting and finding the fastest and most stable connections. Kinetic Mesh offers machine-to-machine connectivity. This allows mobile assets, such as robots, to support their own communication, using their connection to the network.

Benefits of Kinetic Mesh compared to other networking options:

 

Using robotics in place of static security structures will save you money and provide you with comprehensive situational awareness with any properties that are covered, no matter the size of the grounds.

Bringing in a wireless mesh network solution means you can utilise fixed power sources, solar power or mobile devices to which they’re assigned. This allows them to provide wide-area surveillance and omni-directional connectivity for mounted cameras and sensors.

Rajant’s autonomous technology is changing robotics

Autonomous robots are changing the way industrial tasks are performed by providing a way to complete dangerous tasks in difficult, hazardous environmental conditions on land, air and sea, without the need for human efforts. Robots can complete these tasks, whilst streaming live data to enable real-time situational awareness, using Rajant’s Kinetic Mesh technology. As well as in hazardous conditions, robotics can take over to automate tedious and time-consuming tasks.

Autonomous technology is still often seen globally as a kind of novelty, as it’s still a relatively new prospect. In the past year or so, robots have been used more in the public eye for things such as sports events, deliveries or patrolling public spaces. However, they are known to be an expensive choice and somewhat unreliable, due to connectivity issues, but Rajant is changing the way these systems work and proving that autonomous technology can optimise business workflow and save money in the long run.

Connectivity issues occur when there is a break in the network, that can cause a complete holt to the system. Rajant’s Kinetic Mesh provides constant connectivity, using self-optimising assets. The network is ideal for powering robotics. These systems are becoming operational necessities in some industries, and they will always require a continuous network to be reliable and work at full capacity.

Rajant’s wireless BreadCrumb nodes can be fixed directly onto all robotic assets, providing optimal connectivity that’s required for the system to work. The nodes can hold multiple connections over multiple frequencies, so if a network path becomes unavailable, in-built InstaMesh technology will instantly re-route to the next best available path.

Even at the most basic level, a robot is a computer but on a mobile platform, although they can also be used in a sentinel mode to be stationed in specific locations. When used in conjunction with other robots they provide a lot of value, and can replace the large number of detection points, cameras and sensors that you would otherwise need.

Although robots may be costly, their expense is fractional when compared to the large amount of infrastructure needed to support permanent security devices.
