Overview
- Rollo Robotics this week revealed a working prototype called 1Rollo that balances on a single 60 cm wheel using a high‑speed internal flywheel to generate gyroscopic stabilization.
- The company reports the robot can run up to eight hours per charge, reach about 30 km/h, weigh roughly 35–45 kg depending on sources, and carries an IP65‑rated, weather‑resistant body.
- 1Rollo combines 360° cameras, edge computer vision, RTK‑GNSS positioning, and live cloud alerts so operators can view video, speak through a speaker, or dispatch guards when anomalies are detected.
- Rollo plans to sell the system as Robotics‑as‑a‑Service rather than hardware, with commercial availability targeted in 2027 and a cloud dashboard to manage fleets of units remotely.
- The prototype underscores a wider push in security tech to cut routine human patrols, but the company’s performance and operational claims remain unproven at scale and lack independent validation.
