Knightscope ASRs greet guests with a friendly voice while also providing additional eyes and ears for the large human security team. Robots also offer a two-way communication system to enhance the safety of visitors and workers.
Knightscope is an advanced public safety technology company that builds fully autonomous security robots and blue light emergency communications systems that help protect the places people live, work, study and visit. Knightscope’s long-term ambition is to make the United States of America the safest country in the world.
