Semiconductor trading company Marubun announced that it will launch security and patrol services using Aeolus Robotics humanoid AI robots. The robots will operate elevator buttons themselves to provide security across multiple floors. The service will be offered primarily to security companies and is expected to be used at office buildings and commercial facilities.
Semiconductor trading company Marubun has launched security and patrol services using robots equipped with artificial intelligence. The robots are humanoids made by Aeolus Robotics and automatically operate elevator buttons to provide security across multiple floors. Marubun will offer the service to security companies, with office buildings and commercial facilities among the intended applications.
The service is provided on a subscription basis. One of its features is that the integration between the elevator and the robot systems can be completed entirely on the robot side, reducing the effort required for implementation. Because the robots operate autonomously, the service is expected to help reduce staffing needs in the security industry, where labor shortages are becoming increasingly severe.
Marubun already has a track record of providing robots to nursing care facilities and has pursued labor-saving measures in response to labor shortages in the nursing care industry. Its expansion into the security field is similarly driven by labor shortages, with the aim of capturing demand comparable to that in nursing care.
In response to demand from the security industry, the company has outlined plans to expand the automation of patrols and surveillance by AI robots at office buildings and commercial facilities. The article is expected to track future growth in deployments and details of on-site operations.
