Abstract
A mobile security robot system is disclosed comprising a robot vehicle with pressurized fluid canisters, rotatable spray mechanisms, and a software control system for sensor-based or operator-triggered activation. An integrated invisible ink application module enables covert suspect tagging, while an automated refill interface allows docking with a fluid station for replenishment. The system provides non-lethal deterrence, evidence gathering, and optional environmental uses including plant hydration and wildlife deterrence.
Claims29
A security robot system comprising:
- a mobile robot vehicle;
- a plurality of pressurized fluid canisters mounted on the robot vehicle, each canister positioned to maximize coverage of the surrounding area;
- a rotating mechanism associated with each fluid canister, configured to adjust a spray direction;
- a software control system configured to activate the fluid canisters based on at least one of sensor input, pre-set conditions, or operator input;
- an automated refilling system configured to replenish fluid from an external source without human intervention;
- and
- an invisible ink application system integrated with at least one of the fluid canisters, configured to apply ultraviolet-or infrared-reactive ink for subsequent detection.
A method for operating a mobile security robot, the method comprising:
- detecting a potential threat using one or more onboard sensors;
- evaluating activation conditions based on the detected threat;
- activating a deterrent system comprising at least one pressurized fluid canister equipped with a rotatable nozzle and optionally an invisible ink injector;
- adjusting the spray direction based on the location or movement of the detected threat;
- logging the event including at least one of time, location, or threat classification;
- monitoring a fluid level of the canister;
- and
- autonomously navigating the robot to a refill station and initiating a refill sequence when the monitored fluid level falls below a threshold.
An invisible ink detection system comprising:
- a marking module configured to dispense an ink formulation including at least one of ultraviolet-reactive, infrared-reactive, multi-spectral, or thermal-reactive compounds;
- a detection unit configured to illuminate a marked subject using a light source selected from the group consisting of ultraviolet, infrared, or thermal imaging;
- and
- a processing unit configured to identify a presence of the ink formulation based on a fluorescence, reflectance, or thermal response.
