Security Robot -Tunisia deploys police robot on lockdown patrol

Enova Robotics is an advanced security technology company that uses software and hardware to provide its customers with advanced anomaly detection capabilities. Enova Robotics’ short term vision is to detect intrusion and anomalies by utilizing autonomous robots, sensor systems and analytics.

Enova Robotics manufactured a security surveillance robot that is safer and adaptable to new threats. This security device is combines with mobile robotics and artificial intelligence (AI).

This police robot called PGuard,has been deployed to patrol areas of Tunisia's capital, Tunis, to ensure that people are observing a coronavirus lockdown.

If it spies anyone walking in the largely deserted streets, it approaches them and asks why they are out.

They must then show their ID and other papers to the robot's camera, so officers controlling it can check them.

How does the robot work?

A four-wheeled PGuard has a thermal-imaging camera and Lidar (light detection and ranging) technology, which works like radar but uses light instead of radio waves.

Its User Interface permits an easy and complete control of the robot: - Patrol programmation

- Alert system : anomalies and intrusion detection

- Click and Go for doubt removal

- Remote control of the robot

- Video and audio live stream for remote interpellation

Most of the people welcomed the move, while others said the robot "moved too slowly" to be effective.

According to the chief sales officer Radouhane Ben Farhat, before coronavirus swept the world, Enova's clients were largely private firms.

The firm, which has its headquarters in the coastal city of Sousse, also produces a "healthcare" robot.

It can give a preliminary visual diagnosis and use its sensors to measure certain things - and one will be soon be working at a hospital in Tunis. This would help to minimise physical contact between medics and patients with Covid-19.

Robotic technology and artificial intelligence (AI) are increasingly being used during these exceptional times as has been seen in China, which has used disinfecting robots and thermal camera-equipped drones amongst other gadgets to fight coronavirus.
