lack of available workers.

Equipped with a proprietary 3D LiDAR system, the security robot

can perform detailed 3D mapping of properties to be guarded,

detect moving objects such as pedestrians, and detect changes inthe environment. The system can also be linked to a cloud system
to provide various security operations (patrol, standing guard,moving guard) remotely from the security base.

The proprietary LiDAR system on board the SQ-2 is capable ofand safe autonomous movement, even in large-scale environmentsthat require security. The software stack that uses the data from thesensors is based on self-positioning and path planning software,

which is also available as open-source software, making it possible
to make advanced adjustments and customizations.

With the connected cloud system, security work that uses theinternet can be done and robot operation management applications
can be built, enabling both flexible functional expansion and easeof operation as the system can be used anywhere with a webbrowser. The system can also be smoothly connected to external■Work TypePatrols

The robot moves autonomously to predetermined patrol points

it possible to check for abnormalities after the patrol iscompleted.

Standing Guard

The robot stands at a security point and performs surveillance.
Images from the 360-degree panoramic camera can bedisplayed on a monitor installed at the security base. It ispossible to monitor the area around the security point in realtime. The onboard microphone and speaker make it possible touse it to respond to enquiries in the field.

Moving Guard

The robot can be operated remotely from the security base. By
specifying any point on the map, the robot will moveautonomously to the point. If a suspicious object or an injured

person is found during a patrol operation, the robot can be
