Knightscope’s Autonomous Data Machines (ADMs) are fully autonomous robots with an array of onboard sensors used to monitor the surrounding environment and provide a physical and commanding presence in public places where security is needed. It communicates via a wireless network directly with the Knightscope Security Operations Center (KSOC), a browser-based user interface, to provide real-time alerts of unusual or suspicious activity. Robots are now available for preorder in the Silicon Valley area at www.knightscope.com.
