In recent years, the concept of Robot as a Service (RaaS) has evolved from an emerging trend into a proven business model that is transforming how companies access cutting-edge technology.
The idea is simple: deploy a robot and its software through a subscription or rental service, paying only for the contracted period and with the flexibility to adjust the level of service at any time.
In the private security sector, RaaS opens the door to advanced autonomous surveillance without the high costs and long-term commitments of purchasing equipment outright. At Star Robotics, we offer this model with Watchbot, our autonomous surveillance and inspection robot, enabling any organization to integrate state-of-the-art technology quickly and flexibly.
A Paradigm Shift in Security
Until recently, strengthening security typically meant hiring more personnel or installing fixed camera and sensor systems. While these solutions have value, they do not always cover large areas, complex environments, or high-risk zones without driving up operational costs.
With Watchbot under the RaaS model, companies can deploy mobile, continuous, and intelligent surveillance without hardware purchase, without maintenance costs, and with the flexibility to adjust service duration and scope as needs change.
How Star Robotics’ RaaS Works
- No upfront investment – the service includes the robot and software without the need for purchase.
- Tailored subscription – available as annual (paid upfront) or monthly plans for added flexibility.
- Instant scalability – increase or decrease service (units or time) as demand changes.
- Easy termination – at the end of the contracted period, the robot is returned, and billing stops.
- Purchase option available – for organizations that prefer to own Watchbot outright.
Real-World Use Cases for Watchbot
- Perimeter protection at airports, ports, and industrial parks.
- Event security reinforcement to eliminate blind spots and monitor large crowds.
- Surveillance in hazardous areas to minimize direct exposure of security personnel.
- Scheduled inspections with automated evidence logging and real-time alerts.
Key Benefits of RaaS with Watchbot
- No purchase or major upfront costs when choosing the subscription model.
- Always up-to-date technology with continuous hardware and software improvements.
- Maintenance included and managed by the Star Robotics technical team.
- Rapid deployment with robots ready to operate within hours.
The combination of autonomous robotics, artificial intelligence, and flexible service models is ushering in a new era for private security.
With Watchbot under the RaaS model, any organization can access intelligent, scalable, and adaptable surveillance without tying up resources or slowing down growth.
