Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions (AITX) on Monday said its wholly owned subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices (RAD) has named Red Hawk Casino as the deployment location for a ROAMEO mobile security robot.
RAD is a high-tech start-up that says it delivers robotics and artificial intelligence-based solutions. The company has developed a family of security robots, known as SCOT, ROSA, Wally, Wally HSO, AVA and ROAMEO.
Red Hawk Casino is owned and operated by the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians. It is in Placerville, California, 20 minutes east of Sacramento.
ROAMEO is a mobile security robot that is nearly 7 feet tall and weighs more than 700 lbs. According to the company, ROAMEO is built to autonomously patrol a property or periphery and survey its surroundings, conducting routine patrols, recording, and reporting back to the central command center.
The security robot’s dual 21.5” web-connected touch screens provide customizable information and concierge services for guests that it may encounter while on patrol, RAD explained.
RAD added it will be producing a series of online videos documenting the manufacturing and deployment process for Red Hawk’s ROAMEO. The first installment of “ROAMEO: From the REX to Red Hawk Casino” is online at AITX’s YouTube channel.
“We are eager to have ROAMEO on our property,” Christer Farr, Vice President of IT at Red Hawk Casino, said in a statement. “ROAMEO will be deployed as a much-needed asset for our security team, and as an attraction for our guests. I am excited to see how our ROAMEO’s production is developing.”
Mark Folmer, President of RAD, added: “The industry’s interest in ROAMEO is building, and we are building ROAMEOs as fast as we can. It is great to be able to identify Red Hawk Casino as the next deployment for ROAMEO.”
Steve Reinharz, CEO of AITX, said, “Occasionally we are able to name clients as deployment and implementations occur, especially on public-facing robots such as Red Hawk’s ROAMEO. It is going to be a beautiful sight seeing ROAMEO patrol their property and interacting with their guests.”
