Knightscope has introduced its latest “robot cop,” the K1: this model is unique in that it will be capable of detecting concealed weapons and radiation. It will initially cater to airports, hospitals, retail, and other environments, but I hope there aren’t any fountains around — last month, a Knightscope security robot fell into one in Washington, DC.



…features include 360-degree daytime/nighttime live streaming and recorded video, license plate recognition, people and signal detection as well as broadcast and intercom functionality. The K1 with the optional Concealed Weapon Detection and Radiation Detection capabilities will commence shipping in 2018 at $7 per hour utilizing the Company’s industry leading Machine-as-a-Service (MaaS) business model. Clients electing not to utilize these optional features will still be able to obtain the K1 at the $5 per hour rate in 2018.
