High-tech bun guard
This device can not be called anything else than a “bun”, despite the fact that manufacturers proudly call their brainchild Rotundus GroundBot. Unlike the kolobok from the fairy tale (it was probably necessary to write “Kolobok” with a capital letter), the hero of this news does not run away from anyone. On the contrary, various types of offenders must run away and hide from him. The fact is that the Rotundus GroundBot was created to monitor certain territories, and the territories are by no means a couple of square meters.
Due to the relatively high speed (10 km / h), the device is able to monitor vast spaces. The developers made sure to make their "Kolobok" waterproof and highly walkable. Yes, the device rolls due to a shift in the center of gravity. The center of gravity purposefully changes, and the device rolls forward or backward. He is able to roll on snow, and on sand, and on a dirt road. In addition, the device is even able to swim.
True, if we talk about dirt, then this is hardly the best option - because if the device is smeared, then the cameras will be “blinded” and no observation will be possible, despite all the Rotundus GroundBot’s ability to pass through difficult obstacles. The device is also able to navigate in space - for this, manufacturers equipped it with a GPS module. This module is necessary for the device for battery life. But it can be controlled manually, and there is such an opportunity.
The batteries of the "security guard" are quite capacious, and the power consumption of the device is reduced. As a result, one battery charge is enough for 16-18 hours of continuous operation (not a state of rest, but movement and observation). The manufacturer in this case is the Swedish company Rotundus. By the way, two cameras are necessary for the device so that the operator receives a three-dimensional picture. Such is the multifunctional Swedish "bun." He just does not have enough weapons for complete happiness, would be the perfect guard.
