First Responder, Border Patrol, Homeland Security, Law Enforcement, and Security Robots: Market Shares, Strategies, and Forecasts, Worldwide, 2012 to 2018

Police work robot security systems have an emphasis on causality reduction during security patrols. This aim has resulted in investment in robotics technology because robots save lives. Robotic research is continuing to be a priority for government spending. The homeland security and police first responders have a goal of making ground security patrols operational. Police are looking for terrorists and trying to stop terrorist activities. The terrorists target civilians in order to create terror, but the homeland security and police needs to target terrorists and protect civilians in order to get their job done effectively. Robots help in this task by sending robots instead of Homeland security and police into dangerous places. The iRobot 210 Negotiator is a surveillance robot for public safety professionals is illustrative of devices that are likely to proliferate to every law enforcement agency worldwide. The iRobot 210 Negotiator performs basic reconnaissance. The robot increases situational awareness in dangerous scenarios. Instead of going into a dangerous situation and getting shot, it is better to send in a robot.
