The Best Security Technology Innovations of 2016

Boucherle’s Pick: Sharp Electronics A-UGV Robots

The Sharp Intellos is an A-UGV (automated unmanned ground vehicle) that can and will change the security guard business as we know it. These marvels of robotic technology provide extended property patrol capabilities across challenging terrain. The little critters extend the technical reach of your security personnel while enhancing their safety and security. Having the ability to have eyes, ears and voice available to respond when security systems signal an event is efficient for fewer guards to do a better job.

Wish I had this baby when I was investigating alarms from big old warehouses at 3 a.m. as an alarm service investigator at ADT. The electric drive train and sensor packages will last 4-12 hours per charge depending on terrain and usage. The “nose” can detect up to five of 29 gas and radiation types. Wireless encrypted VPN connects the A-UGV to facility mesh networks to share data with security forces. Fully autonomous with special GPS and RTK (real-time kinematic) positions, the units won’t bump into things during patrol.
