Knightscope

Knightscope builds autonomous crime-fighting robots.

These award-winning security robots help reduce criminal activity and make public spaces safer. Equipped with 360-degree cameras, thermal scanning, and Artificial Intelligence, Knightscope robots provide fully autonomous security and surveillance without any human intervention.

The company’s robots have proven to increase safety and decrease crime. After being deployed around Huntington Park, California for one year, the robots helped create a 46% decrease in crime reports and a 27% increase in successful arrests.

Knightscope has raised more than $100 million from investors. And the company has been issued eight patents. To date, it’s developed a fleet of robots, including the K1 Stationary, K3 Indoor, and K5 Outdoor models.

The company is preparing to go public at the conclusion of its current funding round.
