Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), a subsidiary of Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. continues to expand its presence within the State, Local, and Education (SLED) market sector, securing new deployments of its autonomous security solutions.
RIO™ and ROSA™ devices
Organisations across these sectors are turning to RAD’s innovative technology to enhance public safety, reduce security costs, and provide proactive deterrence against crime.
The Company has successfully placed RIO™ and ROSA™ devices in a range of environments, including municipal spaces, educational institutions, and high-traffic public districts, with additional deployments expected in the near future.
AI-driven autonomous proactive deterrence
RAD recently received an order for four ROSA units set to be deployed in a busy urban waterfront
As part of its expanding footprint, RAD recently received an order for four ROSA units set to be deployed in a busy urban waterfront district in a major Midwestern city.
These security devices will provide AI driven autonomous proactive deterrence in addition to incident detection, and continuous surveillance, deterrence in a high-traffic area frequented by residents, businesses, and visitors. The deployment reflects the growing demand among public sector organisations and improvement districts for AI-powered security solutions that enhance safety while optimising operational efficiency.
Public safety and security
Recent data indicates that local governments are prioritising public safety and security in their budgets. In 2023, cities increased their spending by an average of 6.7% compared to 2022, with a significant portion allocated to public safety initiatives.
Looking ahead, experts anticipate that local governments will continue to elevate their investment in public safety technologies. This trend includes the adoption of artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies aimed at enhancing security and efficiency.
Autonomous security
“This latest order is another indicator that cities and counties are embracing autonomous security as a vital component of their safety strategies,” said Troy McCanna, Chief Security Officer of RAD.
“The positive reception we’ve seen in cities across the country reinforces the effectiveness of our solutions and the growing demand for cost-effective, responsive security technology.”
24/7 power source
This installation method ensures uninterrupted operation, making ROSA an ideal solution for urban districts
Utilised by the popular solar-powered RIO trailers, these ROSA units will be mounted on existing light poles, utilising a continuous 24/7 power source. This installation method ensures uninterrupted operation, making ROSA an ideal solution for urban districts requiring persistent security coverage without reliance on solar charging or a large footprint.
“As communities continue evaluating innovative security solutions, many are also exploring RAD’s SARA™ (Speaking Autonomous Responsive Agent) technology,” concluded McCanna.
Enhancing community engagement
“By incorporating SARA, the clients have the potential to further reduce costs while enhancing community engagement and overall security effectiveness.”
With additional orders expected soon, RAD is positioning itself as the go-to provider for cities, counties and states looking to enhance safety while maintaining operational efficiency.
Self-contained security and communication device
ROSA is a multiple award-winning, compact, self-contained security and communication device that can be installed and activated in about 15 minutes.
Its AI-driven capabilities include human, firearm, and vehicle detection, licence plate recognition, responsive digital signage, audio messaging, and seamless integration with RAD’s software suite for real-time notifications and autonomous intelligent responses.
Two-way communication
RAD has published six Case Studies detailing how ROSA has helped eliminate instances of theft
Two-way communication is optimised for cellular, including live video from ROSA’s high-resolution, full-color, always-on cameras.
RAD has published six Case Studies detailing how ROSA has helped eliminate instances of theft, trespassing and loitering at retail centers, hospital campuses, multi-family communities, car rental locations and construction sites across the country.
