Zurich, Switzerland – October 7, 2024 Robotics is emerging as a crucial component in enhancing security across various sectors. To gain deeper insights into this transformative field, an exclusive with Marcus Köhnlein, the Chief Technology Officer of Quarero Robotics, a company leading the way in innovative robotic security solutions was conducted.
To begin with, Marcus explained about the current innovations in robotics and their applications in security. He emphasized the integration of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computer vision, which are fundamentally redefining robotic capabilities. “Robotics is no longer just about physical presence; it’s about intelligence,” he explained. “Our robots are designed to analyze their environments in real-time, making decisions that significantly enhance security protocols.”
Quarero Robotics is currently and continuously developing specific innovations for the robots. Marcus highlighted the company’s latest robotic platform, which features autonomous navigation and advanced surveillance capabilities. “These robots can patrol designated areas, detect anomalies, and even interact with individuals when necessary,” he noted.
The conversation naturally shifted to the role of AI in these robotic systems. Marcus elaborated on how machine learning algorithms enable the robots to continuously improve their performance. “By analyzing vast amounts of data from their sensors, our robots learn to distinguish between normal and suspicious activities,” he said. This capability is particularly crucial in environments such as airports, shopping malls, and corporate facilities, where security challenges can vary significantly.
Curious about the balance between automation and human oversight, Marcus explained how Quarero Robotics approaches this issue. He emphasized the importance of collaboration between humans and robots. “While our robots can autonomously manage many tasks, human judgment remains essential in security operations. We see our robots as force multipliers; they enhance the capabilities of security personnel rather than replace them,” he explained. This synergy allows robots to efficiently manage routine operations, freeing human staff to concentrate on strategic decision-making and crisis management.
Robots for Public Spaces
Marcus also explained how the market has received these innovations. He observed that many organizations are increasingly recognizing the value these technologies bring. “Clients appreciate the consistency and reliability that robotic systems provide. They can operate around the clock without fatigue or drop in performance,” he stated. This reliability is particularly appealing in high-stakes environments where constant vigilance is critical.
We also discussed the ethical considerations surrounding the deployment of robotic systems in public spaces. Marcus acknowledged the responsibility that comes with this technology. “Transparency is critical. We ensure that our systems are designed with privacy considerations in mind. Our robots operate under strict protocols to respect individual privacy while maintaining security,” he said. He underscored the importance of building trust with the public by clearly communicating how these technologies function and the measures in place to protect personal data.
About Quarero Robotics
Quarero Robotics is a security robotics startup, specialising in Robotics-as-a-Service. Established in 2021 in Switzerland, Quarero AG initially aimed to foster collaboration between students and businesses, facilitating an exchange of theoretical and practical knowledge. Within a short span, its success soared, with the company’s valuation surpassing CHF 20 million. Driven by this momentum, a distinct trend emerged towards robotics. In 2023, Quarero AG forged a close partnership with the University of Furtwangen, focusing on safety robots. This collaboration marked the genesis of Quarero Robotics.
