About Knightscope

Knightscope is a California public-safety technology company that builds autonomous security robots and sells them as part of a managed service it calls the Autonomous Security Force. Founded in 2013, it deploys wheeled robots that patrol car parks, campuses, hospitals, malls and other sites around the clock, streaming video, thermal, licence-plate and audio data to its KSOC browser-based monitoring interface and alerting human personnel when anomalies are detected. The hardware range covers the outdoor K5, the indoor K3, the stationary K1 used at entry points, the K7 multi-terrain robot, and stationary emergency-communication products such as Blue Light Towers and E-Phones; the service model can also include licensed human security agents under the same contract.

Knightscope operates only in the United States, where customers include property managers, universities, healthcare systems, municipalities and transport agencies. For partners, Knightscope is notable as the most established US supplier dedicated purely to security patrol robots, with a subscription-style model that bundles machines, software, maintenance and monitoring rather than selling robots outright.
