The over-the-air free upgrade includes the following broadcast messages that can be announced by the company's K1 Stationary, K3 Indoor, or K5 Outdoor Autonomous Security Robots (ASRs):

• “Please maintain a safe distance between you and other people - I recommend at least 6 feet.”
• “Thanks for joining me for a breath of fresh air. We don't have to remain indoors, but let's avoid being in close contact with other humans.”
• “Be sure to wipe down any surfaces you come into contact with. Please disinfect your hands with an alcohol-based sanitizer and avoid touching your face.”
• “Washing our hands is fun! Oh, wait.... I don't have any hands.”
• “If you are feeling ill, please refrain from entering this facility. Instead, please push the button on my head to speak with a human.”
• “Please refrain from physical contact, including shaking hands.”
• “Social distancing is in practice and required here.”

Knightscope says the announcements can be made when a person is detected, randomly, by time, by location or issued manually by a law enforcement officer or security professional utilizing the company's Knightscope Security Operations Center (KSOC).
