Cobalt AI

Cobalt AI is a developer of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for indoor security applications. Its robots come equipped with over 60 sensors, including 360-degree cameras, night vision, a thermal camera, and lidar. For communication, the AMR includes two-way audiovisual chat, a mobile PA system and siren, and a badge reader; for environmental safety, it includes temperature, humidity, smoke, and CO2 sensors. Cobalt's AMRs gather and process data with machine-learning algorithms to detect and flag anomalies as they patrol, and can call for human assistance when necessary.

The company offers its AMRs under a robots-as-a-service (RaaS) model that includes Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence, an AI-powered software platform for real-time monitoring of devices such as surveillance cameras, alarms, and the AMRs themselves. It also includes the Cobalt Command Center, where trained security specialists monitor alerts and provide threat intelligence through automated communications. The RaaS subscription also covers customer support and ongoing maintenance. Cobalt charges an hourly rate that only accounts for the time the robots are actively monitoring.
