Agape-1 Technology, a technology startup founded and led by Silicon Valley entrappers, has developed a smart autonomous patrol robot with artificial intelligence as its core technology in response to the increasing public security problems of robberies and homelessness. The company held a press conference at the company’s headquarters in San Jose, California, showcasing its prototype named “A-1 Security Robot”. The security robot will serve as the first line of defense to protect communities, and become a versatile assistant for the police and security guards.

During the demonstration, the A-1 security robot moved freely, easily bypassed obstacles, avoided pedestrians, and was able to correctly describe the people and objects in front of the robot following instructions. When a presenter appeared with a prop gun, the robot’s alarm system was immediately triggered, with lights flashing and sirens blaring.

The A-1 security robot was developed by a team led by CTO, Dr. Howard Ho who graduated from Yale University. The robot includes an electric vehicle platform and a humanoid robot. The electric vehicle has automatic positioning, navigation, obstacle avoidance, target tracking and other functions. The electric vehicle platform is equipped with sensors such as LiDAR, range sensors, cameras, and microphones to collect various data from its surroundings, as well as warning lights, sirens, speakers and other devices for giving warnings and alerts to deter crime.

The core technology of Agape-1 Technology is its Crime Detection System (CDS) developed based on AI and Multi-Modal Large Language Models. Through the surrounding environment, vehicle and pedestrian information collected by its sensors, the system can determine whether there are any abnormal conditions and then notify the control center. If a suspicious person appears, the system can give a voice warning or conduct inquiries. The system can also detect suspicious weapons to reduce crime.

Dr. Howard Ho said, using the latest AI technology of Multi-Modal Large Language Modes, combining image recognition and other AI technologies, the A-1 Security Robot can carry out autonomous patrols to prevent crime. “We are riding the wave of the latest technologies and continue to lead the cutting-edge innovation and applications of AI for the development of our robots. We have applied for four (4) landmark patents with the U.S. Patent Office to protect our unique inventions,” he said.

CEO Dr. David Fong said: “The company has a strong R&D team, including seven experienced PhDs in science and technology, leading our young engineers in exploring AI security’s new horizons. The company has seasoned corporate and marketing executives who are building the company on solid ground. We are also discussing collaborations in supply chain and high-performance edge processors with other technology companies, and we plan to cooperate with established Taiwanese manufacturing facilities in Mexico for assembly and testing of our robots.This large-scale patrol robot can be used for patrolling in shopping malls, parking lots, university campuses, airports, ports, etc. It solves the security guards’ problems of fatigue, monotony, and late-night shifts. It will be a “loyal partner” of the police and law enforcement. Moreover, the robot’s non-emotional responses under threats with logic and organized dialogue can play a critical role in cooling down the crowd from out-of-control. The system will also be equipped with a robotic arm that can eject water to the crowd to further its goals of deterring crime and protecting business properties.
