Rhombus Launches Autonomous Mobile Security Platform

New robotics integration allows organizations to dispatch autonomous patrols and investigate security gaps beyond fixed camera views.

Rhombus has announced the launch of Rhombus Recon, an autonomous physical security solution designed to integrate mobile robotics with cloud-managed surveillance.

The platform aims to eliminate blind spots inherent in traditional security setups. By connecting with a broader ecosystem of AI cameras, sensors, and access control, Recon allows users to dispatch robots automatically or manually to investigate specific incidents or conduct routine patrols.

"With Rhombus Recon, we aim to give every organization the equivalent of an extra person that is available 24/7 to be an extra set of eyes and ears," said Brandon Salzberg, CTO at Rhombus. "Leveraging AI and LLMs, these robots can complete complex assignments, and we view them becoming an essential part of the operations of most companies."

The system utilizes artificial intelligence to trigger specific actions based on visual data. In a retail or industrial setting, the platform can be programmed to check inventory levels, monitor facility cleanliness, or identify unauthorized personnel. When an anomaly is detected by a fixed camera, the system can dispatch a robot to the scene to stream live video to operators and trigger deterrents through integrated alarm monitoring.

The platform is designed to be hardware-agnostic, supporting robotic form factors from manufacturers such as Boston Dynamics and Unitree. This flexibility allows facilities teams to program scheduled routes through complex environments like manufacturing plants, construction sites and logistics yards, where installing permanent cabling is difficult or expensive.

As the security industry grapples with labor shortages, Rhombus positioned the tool as a way to augment human teams. The software provides centralized fleet management, allowing security personnel to monitor and control multiple units across various locations from a single console.

The company will demonstrate an early version of the platform at ISC West in Las Vegas from March 23–27.

  • ResponderLink

    ResponderLink

    Shooter Detection Systems (SDS), an Alarm.com company and a global leader in gunshot detection solutions, has introduced ResponderLink, a groundbreaking new 911 notification service for gunshot events. ResponderLink completes the circle from detection to 911 notification to first responder awareness, giving law enforcement enhanced situational intelligence they urgently need to save lives. Integrating SDS’s proven gunshot detection system with Noonlight’s SendPolice platform, ResponderLink is the first solution to automatically deliver real-time gunshot detection data to 911 call centers and first responders. When shots are detected, the 911 dispatching center, also known as the Public Safety Answering Point or PSAP, is contacted based on the gunfire location, enabling faster initiation of life-saving emergency protocols.

  • A8V MIND

    A8V MIND

    Hexagon’s Geosystems presents a portable version of its Accur8vision detection system. A rugged all-in-one solution, the A8V MIND (Mobile Intrusion Detection) is designed to provide flexible protection of critical outdoor infrastructure and objects. Hexagon’s Accur8vision is a volumetric detection system that employs LiDAR technology to safeguard entire areas. Whenever it detects movement in a specified zone, it automatically differentiates a threat from a nonthreat, and immediately notifies security staff if necessary. Person detection is carried out within a radius of 80 meters from this device. Connected remotely via a portable computer device, it enables remote surveillance and does not depend on security staff patrolling the area.
