Shield AI is an artificial intelligence robotics company building products for the national security sector and first responders. Our mission is to protect service members and civilians with artificially intelligent systems. Shield AI is the home of Hivemind, an artificial intelligence framework that enables robots to see, reason about, and search the world autonomously. With Hivemind, individual and teams of unmanned systems can learn from their experiences in the real world and across millions of simulated experiences. Shield AI’s Hivemind framework has the potential to be applied to a variety of unmanned systems. The first application of Hivemind is Shield AI’s autonomous quadrotor, Nova. Nova is the leading AI-powered aerial robot capable of autonomous indoor and outdoor ISR operations. Nova produces better mission outcomes by providing ground forces with mission critical information through its ability to autonomously access and explore buildings, dense urban environments and GPS-absent areas while streaming video and maps back to the user. At Shield AI, we come to work every day focused on our mission. For our team, no idea is too bold. We work to make possible what looks out of reach today. Our incredible team is built of scientists, engineers and business leaders inspired by our mission and one another. We believe that people’s drive to innovate, serve, and grow should never hit a boundary. And we are building a company built for those who welcome challenge and the chance to contribute to their utmost. We're hiring! Visit shield.ai/careers to learn more.

Hey everybody, it’s Kai. We’re here at a shopping mall in downtown Los Angeles so that I can go talk to a robot. So what does he do for you? Does he do patrols and rounds and all that stuff? He does. He’s on a set program. He basically patrols the entire plaza. He’s got a set path that he follows. Is it the “push here” button? Is that what I’m doing? That's correct. All right, let’s see what he says. Hi, welcome to the Bloc. Thanks for chatting with me. If you need security, push my button to be connected. Otherwise, wait for the green light to ask me questions. How do I find the men’s room? The retail customer restroom code can only be given out by retailers. Talk to you later.

we have revolutionized the security landscape with the most intelligent and highly functional autonomous robots in its generation we have invented the best companion for security guards it does not go to sleep and it keeps you safe and secured at all times security robots are real solution to soft key problems in the security industry today it's well known that human based security is inconsistent in terms of performance and there will be a high turnover due to overworking or r3 autonomously patrols and environments using routes selected by a customer if it determines that there's something suspicious r3 will send an alert to our fleet management control center from the security of our Cisco and analyze the alert to determine the best plan of action to deal with human robot collaboration leads to better performance of security teams better risk management as well security companies today and building owners can skill their deployment and businesses using our robots while people are always very excited and happy when I see a stream they especially curious about is self-driving capabilities they are also not intimidated as we have succeeded in designing a friendly security robot they feel that the robot is no longer the future it is happening now our contractual property is software that performs 3d slam based navigation we are advanced machine learning capabilities for surveillance that can simultaneously identify multiple classes of objects in an environment for the key security features of Archaea anomaly detection real-time alerts for vendor bags vehicles intruders perimeter breach we also have a two-way communication in case of emergency strats and injuries we have 360 degree video live streaming capabilities which is incorporated with our latest facial recognition technology part three is made in a modular design which enables us to upgrade the hardware or the software whenever technology landscape changes then pressing thing about our hardware and software is that the hardware supports the function of software in the rugged environment our tree behaves as a node in our ICT framework this enables our software team to deploy updates over-the-air at global scale we've taken advantage of the Singapore manufacturing ecosystem which gives us quick a design nitration ciphers I envision the day security Gus will no longer wanna take up jobs when there is no robot as the assistant hotsauce vision is to help resolve low-skilled labor intensive jobs in the market improving the quality of life for everyone and providing a safer and better environment for humans

back in Silicon Valley Stacy was showing me the control center of the night scope k5 security robot what type of things they are the Kay Phibes scanning for they're looking for anomalies so things that are out of the ordinary for example if you're in a shopping center and normally there's nobody there between 11:30 at night and 6:00 a.m. in the morning if all of a sudden we have an object detection in that area it's going to say hey this is not right and it'll send us an alert alerts and events show up here on this side of the screen right now you can see we're all clear so we don't have any events going on yeah this array of screens would usually be installed in the control room of night scopes customers so they can monitor any alarms raised by the robots it sounded very convincing but I wanted to see what the k5 would do if it sensed some bad behavior so I snuck outside [Music] now this might look ridiculous but the k5 was tracking me wherever I went and recording footage which could be passed on to the authorities and when I blocked one of its cameras it sounded an alarm to scare me away and alerted Stacey to my misdemeanor the k5 is being trialed now in low-risk areas such as shopping centers and night scope are hoping to expand into the UK if you see one be careful because there are lot smarter than they look back at the University of Pennsylvania students Justin and Mickey we're setting up a demo of their swarm drones alright I think I'm ready to see them go these autonomous robots are aware of each other and work as a team they're all controlled by computer software which after takeoff runs without any human input wait you're not doing a no I'm not doing anything no I told them to go and that was it so they're doing their own thing right now the computer monitors the drones positions to the nearest millimeter by tracking how the red lights bounce off tiny reflectors on each drone in the real world that drones could be fitted with sonar or GPS to do the same job this is like if a robot were to have a low battery for example and the formation knows how to accommodate for the robots coming and leaving from the formation because they're communicating with each other exactly these drones have all been programmed to surround a central point in the room when one is removed they automatically reconfigure to do the job in the most efficient way possible in a group of three they know a triangle is the best formation but when back has a form they form a square they're shifting to still survey the same spot on the ground the uses for drones like this aren't endless from spraying crops perfectly evenly to surveying burning buildings which are too dangerous for people to enter naturally the military are already working on their own version of this technology they're all here trying to accomplish one mission and they can sense when one one of them is down and then they'll accommodate towards that so whether it's security or warfare autonomous robots are getting smarter by the second and you didn't do anything humans did not do anything

can we take a selfie this robot might be happy to take a selfie with you but it has a much more serious side the ability to do concealed weapon detection to actually know that someone's carrying a firearm in an area where there shouldn't be designed for security and surveillance these robots autonomously monitor indoor and outdoor areas for potential threats this is the k1 it's a stationary robot that has weapons detection it uses the same millimeter wave technology that's used at airports through TSA security so it can tell the size and shape of weapons the 150 pound k1 can also be configured to detect radiation it's expected to be used at airports including luggage collection areas and healthcare facilities for more rugged terrain like gravel at locations such as oil rigs and wind farms there's the seven hundred and seventy pound k7 the machine has holonomic steering so a very simple way to explain that is it the machine can move like a crab so I can turn on its own axis and also go sideways all the robots collect and process data from a range of sensors including sonar lidar thermal imaging and traditional cameras companies monitor the activity then implement security measures if needed in 2018 night scope will add a feature called audio event detection it says will help security guards more accurately locate the scene of a crime the opposite of voice recognition can you tell me all the little intricacies of the environment and not focus on just the voice of what's happening so if you heard footsteps can you learn what a footstep sounds like previous spots have suffered some crossed wires with the k5 driving itself into a fountain and in 2016 running into a child at a mall tonight scopes hoping these new real-life Robocop's will be the ideal partners to fight crime in Mountain View California alexis Avedis cnet.com for CBS News
