In the United States, security guards are in high demand but in short supply.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the security guard occupation is expected to grow by 6.3% over the next 10 years, but many factors prevent people from entering the profession.
To address this challenge, one company has developed an autonomous patrol robot that can traverse any terrain and perform a variety of security tasks.
This robot, Ascento Guard, is designed to fill the security guard shortage and provide a cost-effective and reliable solution to the guard shortage.

Ascento Guard does not replace human guards, but complements them. When the robot detects an incident, it sends an alarm to the operator, who then decides whether to send a human security guard to the scene. This allows the human security guard to focus on the most important situations while the robot handles daily tasks.
