Profile

Knightscope, Inc.KSCPIndustrials

Combines stationary and mobile Autonomous Security Robots with Emergency Communication Devices, cloud tools, remote monitoring, and licensed security services. The licensed-agent component came with the Event Risk acquisition, expanding the business beyond its original robot focus.

Stationary and mobile Autonomous Security Robots (ASRs) and Emergency Communication Devices (ECDs) form the core of the Autonomous Security Force. The devices are supported by the cloud-based Knightscope Security Operations Center (KSOC), the Knightscope Emergency Management System (KEMS), and the RTX remote-monitoring team. CASE supplied the emergency-communications leg, adding blue-light devices and related client relationships.

Licensed security services through Knightscope Security Force add armed and unarmed agents and executive protection. That component joined through the Event Risk acquisition, broadening an earlier ASR-centered business. The stack connects mobile and stationary hardware with cloud software and remote monitoring. Its public-safety mission centers on protecting places where people in the United States live, work, study, and visit.
