Intellitronix, a wholly-owned subsidiary of US Lighting Group, today announced that it has a working model for weapons detection utilizing the Promobot robot and will begin marketing the weapons detection robot immediately.
The Company announced filing for a patent on a weapons detection robot on June 28, 2018. Today marks the launch of Intellitronix’ weapons detection robot that utilizes both a camera and pattern recognition to identify weapons with a high degree of accuracy.
“The need for a [affordable] weapons detection robot across the U.S., especially in schools and other public gathering locations, has never been greater,” said Intellitronix CFO, Susan Tubbs. “As we stated in an earlier announcement, and as a Mother, we cannot do enough to make schools a safe environment for children and as a Company, Intellitronix is now ready to meet that demand.”
According to an IFR World Robotics 2017 Report, industrial robot sales in the U.S. grew by 14% in 2016, chalking up impressive sales of 31,400 units. The Report notes that the United States is in the top five growth markets for robotics applications. Overall worldwide robotics sales in 2016 grew by 18% to US $40 billion. While the IFR World Robotics 2017 Report is quite detailed, it does not break out ‘security’ applications, though demand for weapons detection systems in the U.S. is high.
