Autonomous patrol robots have started working for the first time on the territory of two correctional colonies in the Samara region. The testing and launch of the equipment was organized by the regional department of the Federal Penitentiary Service as part of the security systems upgrade.
The devices operate on the basis of computer vision and lidars, which scan the space in real time and recognize non-standard actions.
The machine independently chooses the optimal detour route, records violations and instantly transmits coordinates and video to the control panel. When a non-standard situation is detected, the robot turns on a sound alert, continues filming and accompanies the object until the arrival of security.
Engineers checked the operation of rovers at negative temperatures, heavy precipitation and low light conditions. At the same time, the developers assessed how stably the robots' software interacts with the already deployed video surveillance cameras and perimeter sensors. If the tests confirm the stated reliability indicators, the department intends to expand the fleet of vehicles to other facilities.
