A Singapore startup has released a four-wheeled security robot that has its own built-in drone.
The Naked Poison II (2002)O-R3, an autonomous robot created by Otsaw Digital, has a drone that can be launched after intruders.
Otsaw's drone-in-robot design extends the range of a typical ground-based autonomous robot by up to 100m (328 ft), allowing the O-R3 to do things typical security robots cannot achieve.

Aside from its in-built drone, the O-R3 is also able to do things like recognize intruders, as well as suspicious objects like unattended bags. It's also able to send alarm to a forward command center, where security will be activated. And if that wasn't enough, the O-R3 can charge itself when its battery goes flat.
The O-R3 is powered by data to make all of this possible. Otsaw says that it's employing machine learning in its systems, so that its robots can differentiate between whether a person is a regular visitor, an employee, or an intruder.
"The more data we feed the robot, the more it learns," Ling said.
"For a start, we will look at quite basic stuff ... if a bag is unattended for five minutes it triggers an alarm. We can classify who is an employee, who is an intruder," he added. "There will be false positives [but] as the machine learns, it gets sharper.”
The company is set to unveil an outdoor version of the O-R3 during CommunicAsia2017, which takes place from Tuesday to Thursday. The outdoor version, with a range of 5km (3 miles) will be the size of a golf buggy, Otsaw said, and an indoor version — a smaller robot, without 3D LIDAR sensors and the drone — is in the works.

Still, they're rising in popularity, especially in countries where it's getting more expensive to hire a security guard.
Companies in Singapore can spend up to S$8,000 ($5,763) a month for two security guards covering 12-hour shifts.
Otsaw wants to rent these robots out as a service — it's planning to lease the robot for $10,000 per month. Another local security services company, Ademco, is offering their robots at S$7,500 ($5,403) a month.
But that doesn't mean the robots will replace humans. Ling, Otsaw's CEO, believes that humans will eventually have to move on to work that requires higher skill-sets.
"I definitely feel like humans cannot be replaced," he said. "The robots are just here to complement the humans, but humans should do something more ... of [higher] skills."
Still, Otsaw is planning to build other autonomous robots — like autonomous road-sweepers — with cheaper LIDAR technology.
"Low-level jobs can be replaced in a very near future, if I might say, the next six months," Ling told Mashable.
"As tech is deployed, this might become our way of life."
