Casinos across the United States are utilising autonomous security robots to better protect their premises and keep visitors and staff safe, according to reports.
Several casinos in the US have opted for autonomous security robots from Knightscope, a security technology company that builds ‘fully autonomous’ security robots, to better protect their premises and improve operations on the floor, the technology provider has reported.
Knightscope says customers can augment their security programme “at a fraction of the average rate for one 24-hour security post” with its autonomous robots. The machines patrol premises to provide a physical security presence with “real-time” actionable intelligence to help detection and prevention, says the provider.
While the company supports a variety of sectors, it has particularly highlighted its work in the US casino market in recent months. The company believes this is due to the versatility of its robots in such environments in bolstering security operations, where large amounts of cash are handled, visitors are arriving frequently and alcohol is consumed.
Indeed, Knightscope recently signed its first Las Vegas casino client, which has casinos and
gaming facilities with more than three dozen locations across the country. Its K5 robots will be used to patrol the Las Vegas facility’s parking lots and structure to deter criminal activity and help keep guests and their belongings safe.
