Knightscope will collect insightful feedback over the next several weeks from its evaluation client, a global brand of full-service hotels and resorts, who will put the Hemisphere through its paces in a real operating environment.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- Knightscope, Inc., a leading developer of autonomous security robots and blue light emergency communication systems, today announced that it delivered on yet another important milestone when the Company deployed its first two K1 Hemisphere Autonomous Security Robots (“ASRs”) at an undisclosed location in Hawaii for the final phase of product development – client testing.

Knightscope will collect insightful feedback over the next several weeks from its evaluation client, a global brand of full-service hotels and resorts, who will put the Hemisphere through its paces in a real operating environment. Numerous pre-orders from a variety of clients are due to be fulfilled thereafter.

“Criminals and terrorists can be anywhere. If we are to fulfill our mission, then Knightscope needs to be everywhere, both outdoors and indoors. Similar to our recently announced Automated Gunshot Detection ('AGD'), this all-new product continues the march towards significantly increasing our TAM ('Total Addressable Market') as the go to public safety innovator,” said William Santana Li, chairman and CEO, Knightscope, Inc.

The introductory price will be an effective hourly rate of $0.75, making it much more difficult for leaders to answer the question: “If your students, employees, tenants, patients, or visitors are your most important asset, then why aren’t you using the most advanced technologies to help keep them safe and secure?”

In addition to being extremely economical, the Hemisphere’s sophisticated design, compact size and ease of installation make it ideally suited for any modern public safety program, both indoors and outdoors.
