Advance Security Group believes Harriet, New Zealand’s first security robot, will change the security industry as the first employee, who never needs a holiday, doesn’t need sick days and can work 24 hours a day.

Security robot - Harriet

The security robot, Harriet is capable of seeing obstacles, recognizing license plates, uniforms and faces.

Mike Marr of Advance Security Group, said “It won’t mean people lose their jobs but rather, offer up new opportunities. What it does do is open up new opportunities and makes our industry more attractive for people with wider variance in the skills and opportunities that sit there.

Interest has proven to be strong already, with offers from ports, hospitals and airports.
