Knightscope

Knightscope is a public safety technology company that develops and deploys Autonomous Security Robots (ASRs) and emergency communication systems. The company's primary clients include businesses and government entities seeking to enhance security in various environments such as corporate campuses, data centers, transit authorities, and higher education institutions.

Knightscope operates on a Machine-as-a-Service (MaaS) business model, offering its technology through subscriptions. This model provides clients with access to the hardware (robots), software, and ongoing support for a recurring fee, making the technology more accessible than a large upfront capital expenditure. The company's ASRs, like the K5 model, are designed to patrol autonomously 24/7, acting as a force multiplier for human security personnel. These robots are equipped with a range of sensors and AI-driven surveillance technology to monitor environments, detect anomalies, and provide real-time data to security teams.

In addition to its robotic solutions, Knightscope provides blue light emergency communication systems, further broadening its public safety technology portfolio. The company generates revenue through sales of its systems and, more significantly, through recurring service contracts and renewals for its MaaS offerings.
