Security robots are automated guards that rely on artificial intelligence (AI), streaming video, and other connected technologies to surveil and perform security tasks. They are equipped with high-definition (HD) cameras, electric motors, and modern high-capacity batteries. They assist in reporting, monitoring, investigating, detecting intruders, and patrolling surveillance areas. As they are reliable, incorruptible, and cost-efficient compared to security guards, security robots are extensively utilized in numerous establishments, such as malls, parking lots, and schools or campuses across the globe.
Due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak and inflating number of cases, there is a significant rise in the adoption of security robots around the world. This can also be attributed to lockdown restrictions imposed by governing agencies of numerous countries and the increasing adoption of social distancing to prevent the spread of the pandemic. Apart from this, there is a significant rise in the trend of indoor robots worldwide on account of their ability to deliver a range of safety and commercial benefits. Furthermore, leading market players are employing advanced technologies, such as neural networks, that help these robots in learning over time and improving their functionality. They are also incorporating automation capabilities that allow security robots to be deployed on challenging terrains and environments for performing surveillance and other action-based on analytics. This is creating a favorable market outlook. Besides this, due to the growing terrorist activities, geopolitical instability, and territorial disputes, there is a considerable rise in security concerns across different countries. This, along with the extensive increase in commercial security expenditure budgets and continuous funding of research and development (R&D) activities, is anticipated to impel the market growth.
