Knightscope, Inc. [Nasdaq: KSCP] (“Knightscope” or the “Company”), a leading developer of autonomous security robots and blue light emergency communication systems, today announces Unico Properties LLC, a real estate investment and operating company, has advanced its security at U.S. Bancorp Tower in downtown Portland by adding a new member to its security team: the Knightscope K5 a 5-foot-5-inch, 420-pound Autonomous Security Robot (“ASR”) that began patrolling the perimeter of the building’s parking structure in December.

“U.S. Bancorp Tower is a best-in-class building and it’s our goal to always provide our tenants with a security program that reflects that,” said Keren Eichen, Unico Properties Director of Real Estate Services. “We’ve been making continued investments in technology at Big Pink since 2018 to bring world-class innovation, safety, and security to this trophy asset. Incorporating Rob bolsters our security platform and supports our highly trained security operation, by further reducing and deterring activity around the exterior of Big Pink.”

Rob is one of the newest innovations in property security. As the first ASR deployed in downtown Portland, Rob is equipped with:

• Continual video surveillance at 4K quality with 360-degree visibility.
• Thermal imaging to detect potential threats.
• Two-way intercom capabilities to support dialogue between individuals and Unico’s on-site security officers, offering visual and audio contact while maintaining safety.
• An amplified speaker for alert broadcasting as necessary.
• License Plate Recognition technology to monitor unwanted vehicles around the garage.
• Be On the Look Out (BOLO) alerts, prompting notifications when banned individuals are on site.

“The Knightscope team is thrilled to leverage decades of law enforcement and security experience to help elevate public safety with forward-thinking clients like Unico,” stated Stacy Stephens, EVP and Chief Client Officer at Knightscope. “It is with tremendous pride that Rob sports the ‘Big Pink’ livery of U.S. Bancorp Tower as it helps to fulfill the Company’s mission to protect the places people live, work, study and visit.”
