on with a lot more to come. "
Robotics for the security industry today
remains a nascent segment in need of clarity
around critical aspects like standards and applications,
costs, and technical constraints like
range of motion and battery life. But most
forward-thinking security practitioners agree
AI is the future, and combining its power
with machines that can act upon that intelligence,
keep people out of harm's way, and
eliminate repetitive, mundane tasks is hard to
argue against. Big picture, according to Statista,
2023 U.S. robotics revenue is projected at
$7.26 billion with the latest market segment
being service robotics.
As further proof that it is " all in, " in late
2022, ADT Commercial appointed its first
director of artificial intelligence, Phillippe
Sawaya, co-founder of an acquired AI technology
startup (Percepta Labs). Today, he is leading
ADT's artificial intelligence team to mobilize
purposeful innovation by building the tools
to automate and streamline customers' security
programs to encourage adoption of future
technologies. SSI spoke with Sawaya and Bacco
about the company's vision for robotics and AI,
and what it means for everyone.

Earlier this year, ADT Commercial
announced EvoGuard intelligent autonomous
guarding solutions. What are
the drivers and how did the initiative
develop?
Ed Bacco: When I was with Amazon, I spent
tens of millions of dollars a year in purchasing
guard services. It's a frustrating business because,
while there's a lot of good people in it,
there is a high turnover rate that means you're
always retraining, always starting from bottom.
It was unpredictable. We're looking for
a predictable and repeatable process. From a
robotics point of view, it was ripe for automation
because of the nature of the work, which
is mundane. We looked at how we could use
technology to change the industry.
We started off by looking at what ADT was
selling then, and from my end-user point of
view the technology addressed events that had
already happened. We had the issue with the
guards and then we had this technology that
wasn't helpful telling me about events that were
about to happen or might happen in the future.
If a burglar alarm system goes off, it means we're
already broken into. If a camera has recorded an
event, that event is already gone. It's in the past.
ADT Commercial has
developed a humanoid
robot with robotics company
1X that is part of its EvoGuard
guarding solutions brand.
