This event is a major step forward for Knightscope, marking a significant improvement in the world's leading autonomous security robot . Knightscope is now ready to fulfill orders across the United States.
The K5 is a new generation of autonomous security robots, designed from scratch based on more than 2.5 million hours of testing with previous robot versions in real environments.
Compared to the previous generation, the K5 has a wider base for stable movement, increased 4K camera height, improved battery structure, and added lighting equipment for working at night. The new design also allows for easier robot maintenance.
The K5 is designed for both indoor and outdoor use, with the ability to operate around the clock without human intervention.
Robots can navigate parking lots, corporate campuses, schools, hospitals and transportation hubs.
Its size and speed allow it to provide comprehensive surveillance, such as areas that fixed cameras cannot reach.
The Knightscope K5 robot has been approved by the New York City Police Department (USA) for use in a pilot program at subway stations in Manhattan.
New York Mayor Eric Adams stressed the importance of using technology to protect local residents, noting the cost-effectiveness of robots.
Richard Davey, director of the New York City Transportation Authority, is also interested in the device's role in improving traffic safety, especially as subway ridership increases.
The introduction of the K5 patrol robot brings security benefits, but also raises some ethical issues due to concerns about affecting citizens' privacy.
Authorities in the US are in the process of developing appropriate legal mechanisms to create a balanced approach to the use of similar new technologies.
