Abstract
The so-called RoboGuard is a mobile security device which is tightly integrated into the existing surveillance framework developed and marketed by Quadrox, a Belgian SME. Robo-Guards are semi-autonomous mobile robots providing video streams via wireless Intranetconnections to existing watchguard systems, supplemented by various basic and optional behaviors. RoboGuards fill several market-niches. Especially, they are a serious alternative to the standard approach of using Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) for surveillance. The paper describes how the main challenges from the telematics viewpoint, namely ensuring Quality of Service (QoS) and Fail-Safe Guarantees (FSG), are solved in this system. Keywords: tele-operation, realtime control, human in the loop, behavior-oriented AI, surveillance, service robotics 1
