Title An Industrial Distributed Network of Intelligent Robotic Security Guards based on the Internet of Robotic Things Paradigm

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present an advanced robotic security solution based on the Internet of Robotic Things (IoRT) paradigm under design and prototyping by Vitrociset – a Leonardo Company. An internet of intelligent security robotic guards based on a Vitrociset AI framework called VIKI, with an integrated biometric module able to provide ePassport instant photo images, downloading them by RFID and correlating them with enhanced and cutting-edge deep learning-based face recognition techniques, using commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) electro-optical sensors. The distributed robots will be equipped also with enhanced functions like real-time thermal image analysis for illness prediction alarms and license plate recognition for vehicles access into the controlled area. The solution is under design for a fixed internet of multi-robot configuration, and successively will be switched easily to a mobile one. The internet of robotic guards will have a human interaction module with speech synthesis functions and natural language processing for knowledge-based automatic reasoning useful for questionanswering sessions during access control interactive interviews. In this way, during the biometric reading, people will be able to ask questions to the robotic guards, which will interact and collaborate with humans, adding security questions and clarifications during access control to restricted and protected areas.
