The “O-R3” outdoor surveillance robots made by Singapore-based robotics maker OTSAW memorize their path, recording video and photos.
The O-R3 robot will record video and photos in a 360-degree view while it patrols the outdoor perimeter of the downtown shelter for people experiencing homelessness operated by SAMMinistries.Two robots from Singapore will begin securing the perimeter of SAMMinistries’ downtown shelter starting next week.

Multiply everything by four, that includes security costs,” said Rex Brien, vice president of Emergency Services for SAMMinistries. They can patrol open spaces, avoid obstacles through their sensors, and return to their bases when their charge runs out.

The robots will memorize the gray perimeter surrounding the center to operate autonomously.A week before the robots’ debut at a press event on Thursday, Texas Veteran Security and SAMMinistries teamed up to brief shelter residents on the new technology they’ll see in the coming days, Brien said, to ensure they aren’t startled by the cameras, lights or sirens.
