Knightscope K5 Autonomous Security Robots Deployed at 2 California Self-Storage Facilities

Knightscope Inc., a provider of robotics and artificial-intelligence technologies focused on public safety, has deployed two of its K5 Autonomous Security Robots (ASRs) at two unnamed California self-storage facilities. The machines are designed to help mitigate risk and elevate the protection offered to tenants and their belongings, according to a press release.

In addition to their security duties, the ASRs will broadcast messages and act as brand ambassadors. Based on the success of this initial program, the facility operator may deploy the technology at additional locations, the release stated.

The user is described as “one of the fastest-growing self-storage platforms in the United States, with assets located primarily in high-density, urban markets.”

Founded in 2013 by William Santana Li and Stacy Dean Stephens, Knightscope offers blue-light, emergency-communications systems in addition to its ASRs. Its products are used at airports, hospitals, hotels, parks, schools and other public areas.
