OUTSTANDING STATE-OF-ART, HIGH-TECH "OMVS"_RADBOT_S5_DETAILED_DESCRIPTION_FROM_8-31-17_8-K
S5 RADBot ™
The Company’s robots are designed to patrol areas autonomously for security intrusion detection. They are designed to outperform human security guards with superior performance at a significantly lower cost. The robots navigate challenging terrains and feature sophisticated systems to avoid people and objects in dynamic outdoor environments. To do this, the robots employ a number of autonomous motion and self-driving technologies, ultrasonic sensors, inertial measurement unit, GPS and wheel encoders. A key feature is how the robot is designed to use energy expeditiously. This is a key technology required so the robot can achieve long mission/patrol times. The robot will gather approximately 1mb of telemetry data per day of operation. Depending on customer needs the robot will collect 75mb of video data per day. All data is accessible for review and analysis through the end users’ SOC. RAD provides a variety of user interfaces that are continuously being upgraded bringing new features online. Clients can recall, review, and save the data for analysis or archival purposes. Clients may also utilize the patrol scheduler feature to schedule periodic or regular patrols during certain times for alternative patrol routes. RAD includes 24/7 robot telemetry monitoring from their California headquarters building. The dimensions of the S5 RADBot™ are as follows: 50” long x 30” wide x 48” at highest point; weight approximately 250lbs.
The robots are designed to be used outdoors in such environments as utility facilities, corporate campuses, hospitals, large parking lots, logistics facilities, college campus, airports, train stations and more. The robots’ primary role is performing sophisticated perimeter intrusion detection functions similar to that of the guarding market. The robots capture MAC addresses, which is an important new security tool.
The robots include several communications features. The units can transfer data over 4G LTE networks and/or Wi-Fi. Each one has an intercom and a long-range paging horn that may be used for two-way communication with security. In addition, one or multiple units may be used as a live broadcast public address system or to deliver pre-recorded messages. They also may have custom sensor packages added at the customer’s request (and extra cost). Examples of custom packages include sensors to measure local conditions such as temperature, pressure, humidity and CO 2 levels.
The robots run on rechargeable batteries. They are configured to patrol autonomously for up to 12 hours, following which they are controlled via remote control to a docking station where they recharge for 3 hours before resuming patrol. The machines remain operational during the charging period, providing 24/7 uptime to clients.
The robots can operate with all the major Video Management Systems such as Genetec, Milestone, Sureview and Lenel. This ability to integrate into a client’s existing security systems platform with little to no effort allows for a seamless expansion of the Situational Awareness ability of the enterprise’s SOC. Key goals in the security industry include improving Situational Awareness and acquiring ‘force multiplication’ through the deployment of fixed cameras. The RADBot™, in addition to being an autonomous or mobile surveillance platform, which in and of itself has significant marketable value, further adds functionality by including advanced human detection and two-way voice features. These are critical features of RAD’s platform and a strong distinguishing feature from competitors which use a custom interface requiring operator retraining, a key issue in the high turnover environment of the security guard industry. It is also available as an app for iOS and Android devices.
RAD is debuting advanced analytics using the NVIDIA GPU platform bringing revolutionary human detection features to a moving robotic platform. Once alerted of a triggering event, such as a person spotted during a specific time in a particular location, the robot automatically notifies the SOC allowing authorized users to view the live stream of data and take appropriate action.
RAD’s robots are patent pending custom configured designs featuring state of the art technology produced by SMP Robotics (“SMP”). SMP is an international manufacturer of autonomous mobile robots headquartered in California.
The security robot performs security functions as follows:
– Patrols a set route or routes depending on schedule
– While on patrol 360 degrees of video are captured in the security robot. This video is an extension of the organizations existing video system, whichever that may be
– Security officers and/or the SOC can access the video the security robot ’sees’ at any time
– The security robot will alert a guard or the SOC when a human is identified. The robot can automatically announce an alert to the potential intruder and turn to the SOC for two-way voice control
– Robot captures license plate information while on patrol (if permitted by client)
– The robot offers remote guards and the SOC a variety of additional visualization technology including pan/tilt/zoom cameras and infra-red
– Additional custom packages can be added and integrated based on customer request. Examples include thermal cameras and industry specific sensors (for oil & gas, as an example)
The robot’s key features include:
Software and Notifications
– NVIDIA-based technology for recognizing humans and activating SOPs
– Tap into robot via cellular connectivity for live/recorded video viewing, voice commands and additional functions
– Instantly communicate to SOC and/or mobile guards to report incidents
– Can be set to report on anomalies that are found on patrol routes
– Creates video record of everywhere the robot goes that can be used for forensics
– Two-way voice communication with SOC
Tracking
– Dashboard software allows current location and historical pathway to be viewed
– Failsafe allows robot tracking to remain active even if main power is cut/damaged
Onboard Capability
– Autonomous mobile platform with North American surveillance platforms installed locally
– Video is recorded and stored locally and is automatically uploaded when robot returns to charging location within Wi-Fi range as determined by client
Patrol Distance and Duration
– Robot can patrol approximately 10 miles. Best practices recommend 12-hour patrol/post assignments

Growth Strategy
Dealerships - The Company will primarily look to rent its robots through dealerships with guarding companies. Guarding companies are cognizant of the fact that failure to adopt new technology will severely impact their business in the future. The guarding partnership model is valuable as it provides RAD with instant access to the largest consumers of guarding services, the Company’s primary target market. After the ISC show in Las Vegas the Company has signed up 5 dealers; WeSecure, Champion Security, Watchman, Reece Security and Clear Cloud Solutions with plans to sign on additional dealers.
Development Partnerships - The Company has been working towards a co-development partnership to provide realtime real-world feedback of its robots and intends to explore other co-development agreements with strategic partners.
Autonomous Charging - The Company expects its robots to have full autonomous charging capabilities in the near future. This will not only significantly increase the size of the Company’s immediate market but allow companies to add security to areas that are either not suitable for humans or cost effective for permanent security. With international labor safety standards becoming more stringent, robots are being deployed in hazardous environments in place of humans. Robots find applications in situations that are dangerous and unsafe for humans to work, such as working in irregular terrains and handling hazardous substances. Robots enable organizations to avoid risks and reduce the number of work accidents.
RADbot TM Essentials - The Company has developed a command and control software which allows complete visualization of the robot, historical pathways and insight into basic robot status. The software not only controls the Company’s robots but can integrate with any new robot entrants as well. It is an open and adaptable software package that enterprise clients can use to manage and control all of their security robots.
