Robots serving as security officers are not a new discussion in our market
Well, if Google has a similar impact on guard services as it has had on business publications, like mine, look out Securitas, G4S, AlliedBarton, et al… or get on board with robots functioning as security officers.
Robots serving as security officers are not a new discussion in our market. In fact, the major goal of ASIS exhibitors is to not have their exhibit near the annoying robot booth. This is because ASIS attendees were sure to avoid being confronted (OK, greeted) by the robot, thereby causing collateral damage to their booth traffic. But when two of the world’s biggest technology development investors step into the ring, you should anticipate change. DARPA and Google have entered the market with clear ambition and purpose.
