Robot Completes Full Day's Work, Autonomously

Gamma Two Robotics’ security robot ‘Vigilus’ recently completed a full day’s work, patrolling a parking garage for eight hours. The robot traveled over three miles, made 58 rounds, and reported the few anomalies it encountered to the Security Command Center (SCC). And it did it all on its own, autonomously. No person helped the robot, told it how to navigate the garage, when to yield to moving cars, nor how to avoid obstacles in its path.
