Drones and robotics provide security leaders a way to investigate threats without risking security personnel. Security magazine presents a selection of drone and robotics solutions.
Asylon
Live Streams Missions to the Cloud
Guardian is an end-to-end hardware/software system that enables full automation. Every mission is live streamed to the cloud so users can monitor their systems from anywhere. The system includes pre-programmed or point-and-click piloting to provide unprecedented aerial and mobile vantage points, live EO/IR video monitoring, and advanced data analytics. And, with third party alarm integrations, the security drone system can investigate, clear, or escalate alarms. Image courtesy of Asylon

Sunflower labs
Remembers Obstacles for Future Flights
After the Hive opens, the Bee takes off in under 5 seconds to respond to activity on any part of a 4-acre property in under 30 seconds. The Bee does the rest plans a path, performs the sweep, and lands safely back in the Hive. No manual drone operation required. With 3D property mapping and geofencing, the Bee navigates and stays within a property. The Bee detects unexpected obstacles and re-routes to avoid collision and improve future flight paths.

Nightingale Security
Detects Intrusions Utilizing AI
The moment a 911 call or an alarm is activated, the system springs into action autonomously. A drone is dispatched to the precise location of the incident, providing a visual feed to the response team through live video streaming. This system introduces Robotic AI Intrusion Detection (RAID). Through autonomous patrols, drones meticulously sweep areas of interest surrounding the facility. Alerts are judiciously dispatched exclusively upon detecting human and vehicle intruders.
