「ROBO-HI DANCE」: A Smart DX Solution for Security and Inspection Operations
Reducing On-Site Workload Through Seamless Human-Robot Collaboration
ROBO-HI Corporation has launched a new「ROBO-HI DANCE」solution designed for the security and inspection industry.
This solution addresses the growing labor shortage facing the security and inspection sector by enabling seamless collaboration between robots and on-site personnel. The security and inspection industry is experiencing a severe shortage of workers, leading many organizations to explore robot deployment as a means of reducing labor requirements. However, conventional robot implementation often results in robots simply performing patrols independently, with little integration into human workflows. As a result, the anticipated operational efficiency gains are not fully realized.
「ROBO-HI DANCE」overcomes this challenge by enabling robots responsible for wide-area patrols and human staff responsible for judgment and response to work together seamlessly (“DANCE”). By combining the strengths of both, robots can assume a significant portion of patrol and inspection tasks while maintaining and improving building management quality.
Key Features of the ROBO-HI DANCE Solution for Security & Inspection Operations
1. Redefining Operations Through “Area-Line-Point” Role Allocation (Transferring 60–70% of Routine Tasks to Robots)
Robots cover wide-area patrols (“Area”), while human workers focus on high-level decision-making (“Point”). By strengthening the connection (“Line”) between the two, organizations can shift approximately 60–70% of routine on-site operations to robots.
2. Real-Time Collaboration Through the “Never-Lost Companion App”
The system instantly notifies field personnel via smart devices when:
- A robot requires assistance (Help Me)
- An anomaly detected by a robot needs to be handed over to a human operator (Pass the Baton)
This enables uninterrupted operations without slowing down field activities.
3. Integrated Evidence Reporting That Eliminates Manual Recording and Aggregation
Robot patrol records and human inspection results are digitally integrated into a single platform. This provides real-time visibility into building management conditions and enables objective demonstration of operational value to building owners.
Three Core Functions Enabling Seamless Human-Robot Handover
「ROBO-HI DANCE」is designed to seamlessly connect wide-area robotic patrols with human judgment and response capabilities. The following three core functions support efficient field operations.
1. Pass the Baton (Handing Over Detected Anomalies to Human Staff)
When a robot detects an anomaly during patrols—such as suspicious objects, water leaks, or unlocked doors—the system immediately shares the location and images with the nearest staff member through the mobile application. This allows personnel to quickly arrive on-site and take appropriate action.
2. Help Me (Robot Recovery Support)
When a robot becomes stuck, such as waiting at a security gate or encountering an obstacle along its route, the system automatically notifies on-site personnel.
Staff can then assist by opening gates or providing support, enabling the robot to promptly resume its patrol.
3. The Never-Lost Companion App (Minimal Alerts and Reliable Recordkeeping)
This dedicated application allows staff to:
- Receive only essential alerts (e.g., lighting failures)
- Monitor robot locations and operational status in real time
- Provide intuitive instructions directly from smart devices
- Maintain accurate operational records
The app enables efficient coordination between personnel and robots while minimizing unnecessary notifications.
