Akihabara News (Tokyo) — Tokyo-based Sohgo Security Systems Company, better known as ALSOK, is developing a new security service in Japan that will rely on drone and robot patrols.
ALSOK is working to perfect an autonomous indoor flying drone for that can operate as a substitute for human security guards.
These drones will be designed automatically charge themselves at their ports, and then conduct patrols along specified routes. Video would be relayed to a security room, with Artificial Intelligence utilized to identify the presence of human beings.
Tests of the system are now being conducted, including a high-profile demonstration experiment in July at Tokyo Skytree and the surrounding Tokyo Solamachi shopping complex.
ALSOK has also been looking into the use of 5G to coordinate autonomous drone and robot security systems, with Haneda Airport as an early test site.
Once the bugs have been worked out of the technology and its effectiveness has been confirmed, ALSOK will move toward commercialization of drone security packages.
