Secom, a Japan-based security company, has developed an autonomous security and inspection robot capable of issuing light and smoke warnings to suspicious people.

The so-called Cocobo Robot autonomously patrols public spaces like airports and retail centers, for instance, detecting suspicious objects like weapons or abandoned luggage or suspicious persons. Additionally, the robot features a remote-controlled arm for inspecting the underside of vending machines or the interior of garbage cans for potentially threatening objects.

The Cocobo Robot is able to detect suspicious objects and behaviors via artificial intelligence, alerting authorities via 5G. Additionally, the security robot features on-board cameras, gas, proximity and thermal image sensors, lidar, and a microphone and speakers.
