Reliable protection for most sites implies that a security officer is conducting foot patrol rounds in secured premises. Patrolling needs to be done regularly, and the more time the premises are under surveillance, the harder it is for an intruder to commit unlawful acts. The mere presence of a security officer right in the restricted area, and not only “on duty” in a guard shack, gives warning to illegal trespassers. However, foot patrol is often an expensive service that relies on the professionalism and commitment of the personnel involved; therefore, it involves a costlier long-term investment of wages, benefits, and management efforts. With the advent of autonomous mobile robots designed to address the challenges of patrolling and protection, reducing costs and improving the quality of restricted-area patrols is now possible. Security patrol robots are able to move along foot patrol routes autonomously. Thanks to a built-in automatic guidance system, the mobile robot is able to independently take detours around obstacles and choose the optimal route to follow. The surveillance system installed on the robot transmits images of its surroundings either to the guard shack or directly to a foot patrol officer’s tablet. The patrol robot is virtually silent as it moves, because it uses electric motors and modern high-capacity, lightweight batteries that give enough power to patrol for eight hours. The robot is always present on its patrol route; unlike human beings, it does not need to rest, and it does not need to be supervised with any security guard patrol-tracking systems.
