Robotic Assistance Devices Mobile Inc. (RAD-M), a subsidiary of Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions Inc., has attained the achievement of Level 5 autonomous navigation, part of its development of ROAMEO (Rugged Observation Assistance Mobile Electronic Officer) Gen4 security robot.
ROAMEO Gen4 is a fully autonomous mobile security patrol robot, with a 360-degree field of view, high-resolution cameras, and advanced AI analytics based on AITX’s proprietary AIR technology. Achieving Level 5 autonomy signifies that ROAMEO Gen4 can operate independently without human intervention across multiple environments and weather conditions. Level 5 features from RAD-M include dynamic obstacle avoidance, gateway pass through, narrow lane navigation, vehicle and pedestrian prediction (limited to slow speed parking areas) as well as additional advanced security features that will be announced in the future.
“Prospective end user outreach to us for this solution has been remarkable, considering the diversity of the prospect base and our lack of current promotion for ROAMEO,” said Steve Reinharz, CEO/CTO of AITX and RAD-R. “We’ve known that there is a strong market for this solution for some time and with our recent technical achievements in Level 5 navigation and AIR™ we’re in the homestretch to bring Gen4 to market. Not only have prospective clients been waiting for this solution but our greater community of supporters have been patiently awaiting this ROAMEO version that we can build en masse”.
ROAMEO, in limited quantities, is expected to start shipping in Spring 2025, with unit production increasing as sales momentum increases.
“ROAMEO gives clients a much-needed autonomous solution as they continue to push for lower cost, higher capability options to integrate with, and often replace, their human guards,” said Mark Folmer, CPP, PSP, FSyI, President of subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD). “We’ve seen positive results from ROAMEO Gen2 and with Gen4 we’re quite certain there will be a dramatic effect on those guarding roles and our own growth.”
According to the announcement, the key benefit of ROAMEO Gen4 lies in its ability to significantly reduce costs compared to 24-hour manned patrols. Traditional security patrols conducted by human guards in golf carts often involve substantial expenses related to salaries, training, benefits, and the need for multiple shifts to maintain continuous coverage. ROAMEO Gen4 eliminates these excessive costs by providing a consistent and reliable security presence with autonomous operation.
“We’re thrilled to bring ROAMEO Gen4 to market soon and see the impact it will have on our clients’ security operations,” Reinharz said. “ROAMEO’s full autonomy not only redefines what’s possible in security, but it’s also set to make a significant contribution to AITX’s growing Recurring Monthly Revenue. This aligns perfectly with our long-term strategy of delivering value through innovative and sustainable solutions.”
