TOKYO — Sohgo Security Services Co said Thursday it will mobilize its new model patrolling robot "Guard Robo D1" in several office and convention buildings in the Tokyo metropolitan area in a year from now, to assist human guards by detecting leaked water and extinguishing fire.

The Tokyo-based security company, which has been developing patrolling robots since 1982, unveiled the latest model Thursday that can distinguish human beings and objects, such as fire extinguishers, while in motion. (Kyodo News)
