Asylon, a provider of automated robotic security solutions, is helping solar operators strengthen physical security with its flagship security robot, DroneDog. Combining autonomous robotic patrols with around-the-clock AI-powered detection and live human monitoring, DroneDog provides an added layer of protection for utility-scale solar facilities while helping reduce reliance on traditional guarding services.
DroneDog is a robotic guard dog capable of patrolling all manner of utility infrastructure, ranging from gas pipelines to water treatment facilities to power plants. DroneDog is a high-endurance, agile security robot that is a key component of a comprehensive robotic perimeter security solution. This system modernizes and enhances existing security measures while offering cost-reduction opportunities compared to traditional guarding services. DroneDog improves facility security through human-monitored alarm response and perimeter patrols, ensuring a consistent and reliable security presence.
DroneDog is enhanced with a proprietary PupPack security payload that is fixed on top of the robot and connects to the cloud for remote operation and live streaming. All video is securely stored on U.S. servers. This security payload is where much of the technology lives that makes DroneDog a highly effective security tool. Included in the PupPack is a thermal camera with 20-times optical zoom, AI/ML classifiers, cloud connectivity, an expandable payload port and anti-theft technology.
When DroneDog is not on a security mission, it returns to its DogHouse, an enclosed and ruggedized case. The DogHouse can be kept outside and enables protection from the elements while allowing the DroneDog to rapidly recharge its batteries for its next mission.
Asylon has executed a combined over 350,000 automated security missions utilizing its DroneDog ground robot and Guardian drone systems across commercial and critical infrastructure sites nationwide. In addition, DroneDog alone has now patrolled more than 150,000 miles in real world operational environments. These missions include scheduled patrols, alarm response, and post-incident monitoring, showcasing the growing role of robotics in 24/7 perimeter security.
