Robots and the Future of Investigation and Security Services
Overview: Robots are increasingly being employed as a critical aspect of the investigation and security services industry. Robots can play an integral role in tackling sophisticated forms of offences, surveillance, and maintaining security. The potential of robots in transforming the future of investigation and security services can be judged by the statistics: with an expected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 14% from 2020 to 2027 for security robots, the deployment of bomb disposal robots in the global military departments to reach $2 billion by 2025, and the reduction of warehouse-related accidents by 40%.
Robots in Investigation Services: Innovative robotic technology is being applied in various areas of investigation services. This includes tackling complex and technologically advanced crimes like cybercrime, where robots powered by machine learning algorithms can identify irregular activity, potentially saving corporations billions annually. Robots play a vital role in predictive policing, where pattern recognition and data analysis can highlight potential crime areas. The application of drone robots in forensic investigation has also increased, supplying precise visual data to crime scene investigators. According to Statista, the global forensic technology market, supported by robotic technology, is expected to reach $22.9 billion by 2025.
Robots in Surveillance Systems: Robots can offer enhanced surveillance capabilities, monitoring vast areas economically and efficiently. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) like drones, can cover wide areas and challenging terrains, providing real-time feeds to monitoring stations. Some advanced surveillance robots can even detect suspicious activities via AI and behavioral analysis. Statista predicts that the usage of drones in commercial and civil surveillance will be maintained, with 68.2% of identified drone usage in 2021 being for professional purposes.
Robots in Security Services: The role of robots in security services has been expanding, with usage in sectors such as border control, and commercial and residential security. Patrol robots and drones are increasingly being used for perimeter security, significantly reducing man-hours. Forecasts suggest that the security robot market will witness a CAGR of 14% from 2020 to 2027. Highly specialized robots, such as bomb disposal robots, are employed in many countries' military departments, with an expected market size of $2 billion by 2025.
Robots in Warehouse Security: Collaborative robots or cobots are transforming warehouse security and efficiency. Cobots decrease the incident of work-related accidents by efficient material handling and transportation. After deploying cobots, some warehouses have reported reduced accidents by 40%. Moreover, a study by Market and Markets predicts the cobot market to grow from $710 million in 2018 to $12,303 million by 2025 at a CAGR of 50.31%.
Key Takeaways:
- Robotics technology is increasingly being integrated into various areas of investigation, surveillance and security services.
- The presence of robots is helping enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of these services.
- High growth potential is expected in the security robots market, with an anticipated CAGR of 14% from 2020 to 2027.
