Ademco Security Group last year launched a service for organizations to rent robots to patrol their premises.

These 1.6m-tall, four-wheeled, seven-eyed robots can detect, inspect and report on security breaches and other abnormalities such as fire, smoke, burst pipes, loud sounds, and even unattended bags.

They are not remote-controlled, but are autonomous robots able to work on their own.

However, the company acknowledges that the 160kg robot, called S5, has its limitations. For example, even though it sends out alerts if it spots a break-in, that may not stop intruders from tampering with its circuits.
