Nimbo is a security segway robot that was introduced at the 2018 CES convention recently in Las Vegas. It installed a "Ride-on Mode" installed that allows users to become a passenger on Nimbo and travel up to the speed of 11 miles per hour. The segway robot is created to patrol settings and emit warnings with audio and visual effects if any danger were to arise. It does so through its computer vision, which then enables those around to take action in accordance to the recognized danger that Nimbo detected.
The segway robot is designed to conquer harsh pavement grounds and speed bumps. Its thin body, built at 25 inches wide, is capable of travelling between narrow pathways. Another advantage that Nimbo has is that it operates 24 hours, providing constant video. This technology can be implemented into already existing security systems, connect to drones and hold added sensors, so there is a lot of room to expand from the base model.
Key Themes Behind This Trend
- Ride-on Robots
- Companies can introduce ride-on robots with computer vision and warning systems, allowing for passenger travel and enhanced safety features.
- 24-hour Operations Security
- Developing or integrating security systems with 24-hour operations, such as computer vision and audio/visual warning features, will ensure enhanced safety measures in various settings.
- Expanding Security System Integration
- With the ability to connect to drones and additional sensors, security systems integrated with Segway patrol robots have the potential to offer new, advanced features and increased efficiency.
Where This Applies
- Security
- Implementing Segway patrol robots into existing security systems can provide enhanced monitoring capabilities and improve safety measures in various settings.
- Tourism
- Developing ride-on robots that can be integrated into tourist transportation can offer a unique and exciting experience for visitors while also enhancing safety measures in crowded areas.
- Manufacturing
- Manufacturing plants can utilize Segway patrol robots to monitor for potential hazards or unsafe conditions, improving overall safety within the workplace.
