COVID-19 Analysis


It is not possible to understate the reactions to the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on societies and economies around the world. Many organisations and companies have acknowledged that, in times of vulnerability, they should look beyond traditional security solutions to expect new threats and protect against those risks. The functionality of security robots surpassed the efficiency of security guards at the beginning of the pandemic. This issue has been made a top priority by the outbreak of COVID-19, and using autonomous security robots in a pandemic can be a good option to address the risks and threats. The COVID-19 pandemic gave impetus to the introduction of unmanned technologies into private security and asset protection companies' businesses. Since the first days of the pandemic, the risk of infection among security company personnel has arisen. At the same time, even a small number of trained personnel are spreading the infection, leading to the need to hire new employees or to reduce the quality of service and safety. Besides, the inflow of immigrants to their territories has been reduced by many countries. All of this prompted private security companies to use security robots to start.
