Autonomous mobile security robot introduced by Ritsumeikan University — Capable of monitoring via a 360‐degree camera and can be used to detect obstacles and people
I’m at Replaying Japan 2026, a conference. on Japanese game culture being held at the Ibaraki campus of Ritsumeikan University. They have these pickle shaped “security” robots rolling slowly down the halls. I searched for something about these devices and found this: Autonomous mobile security robot introduced by Ritsumeikan University — Capable of monitoring via a 360‐degree camera and can be used to detect obstacles and people.
Just what will they do with the data? What could they do? How would lidar and video lead to security improvements or is this security theatre?
