GuardBot
Why hire security guards, when you could just put GuardBot to work? This amphibious surveillance robot can traverse through mud, sand and snow without getting stuck. Not just limited to security applications, the company states that it can also accompany special operations teams in conflict zones and perform dangerous tasks, such as carrying explosives to an enemy location. It weighs a mere 55-pounds, complete with cameras on board that enable a remote driver to see where they’re headed, and runs on a rechargeable battery, good for about 16-hours of continuous use.



GuardBot’s cameras give it a 360° field of vision, all the while transporting cargo that weighs up to 4.4lbs (2kg). Its was originally intended to be used for a space planetary mission on Mars, but engineers have since repurposed it for use on Earth. Incredibly enough, the entire design is also scalable. That’s right, GuardBot could scaled down to four inches (10cm) across, and as large as nine feet (2.7 meters).
