X9 Robotics is GRDX's robot patrol service: a four-legged security robot that walks interior routes and sends live video, always paired with a licensed GRDX officer. The robot covers repetitive rounds and hard-to-watch spaces. The officer makes the decisions and responds. Demonstrations are coming soon.
What is the X9 robot?
The X9 is a quadruped, meaning it walks on four legs instead of rolling on wheels. That lets it handle hallways, doorways and indoor routes that would stop a wheeled unit.
It carries cameras and streams live video while it moves. Think of it as a set of eyes that can walk the same loop at 3 a.m. for the hundredth time without getting bored.
It isn't armed and it doesn't detain anyone. Its job is to look, record, and get the officer's attention when something seems wrong.
Why is a human officer always paired with the robot?
Because a robot can see a problem but can't use judgment about it. It can't talk a lost visitor down, decide whether someone belongs, or make a call that has legal weight.
So every X9 deployment includes a licensed GRDX officer. The robot handles repetitive rounds and streams what it sees. The officer watches, decides, and goes in person when something needs a human. Same standards as any post: licensed for the jurisdiction, supervised 24/7.
So why use a robot at all? Mainly for repetition. Overnight interior rounds are the same loop, again and again, and attention fades for anyone by the fourth hour.
A robot walking that loop doesn't drift. Meanwhile the officer is free to watch the feed, answer the door, handle a visitor or go check something in person. You still get human judgment. You get more eyes on long hallways at the same time. Whether that's worth it depends on your building, and we'll tell you honestly once you've seen a demo.
Expect the officer to know the robot's route by heart. If the feed shows a door propped open on the fourth floor, the officer already knows the quickest stairwell up and what's behind that door.
Where does a patrol robot make sense?
It fits large interiors with long, repetitive rounds where one officer can't be everywhere.
Small sites rarely need one. A single-floor office with one officer who can walk it in ten minutes gets little from a robot, and we'll say so.
Office towers
Floor after floor of quiet hallways overnight.
Data and equipment rooms
Spaces you want watched, with fewer people inside.
Large indoor facilities
Warehouses and long corridors after hours.
Campuses
Interior buildings between officer rounds.
How would an X9 deployment work at my site?
A deployment would start the same way every GRDX job does: on foot, with you.
A trial on one floor or one building is a sensible start. It shows how the robot handles your doors, lighting and traffic before anyone commits to more.
- We walk the building and map the interior routes the robot can take.
- We set what it watches for and how often it runs each loop.
- A licensed officer is assigned to work alongside it on every shift.
- Live video and patrol records go to the officer and supervisor.
- Anything the robot flags gets a human response and a written report.
When can I see the X9 in person?
Demos are coming soon. Want a spot on the list? Phone us at (833) 350-4739, or use the website form and name X9 in your note.
We'd rather show it working in a real building than describe it with promises. When demos open, you'll see it walk a route, hear from the officer it works with, and decide if it fits your site.
Demos will also show what the robot can't do. Doors that need a key, crowded lobbies at rush hour, outdoor ground after rain. You should know the limits before deciding.
What does the X9 record on a patrol?
The X9 records what its cameras see along the route, and that video streams live to the officer it's paired with. The patrol is logged the way our officers' rounds are logged, so there's a record of where it went and when.
When something looks wrong, the officer decides what happens next. That might be walking over to check in person, calling the supervisor, or calling police. Whatever happens, it goes into a written report with photos and times, the same format clients already get from human patrols.
So the paperwork doesn't change because the patrol had legs instead of a badge. One report style. One supervisor. One contact on your account.
Questions
Does the X9 robot replace security guards?+
No. Every X9 deployment includes a licensed GRDX officer. The robot takes the repetitive rounds; the officer handles judgment and response.
Can the X9 patrol outdoors?+
It depends on the site. We describe X9 as an interior patrol service today, and we'll confirm any outdoor use during the site walk.
Can I watch the robot's video feed?+
It depends on how the deployment is set up. The live feed goes to the paired officer and supervisor; client access is something we'll work out with you.
Can the robot climb stairs?+
It's built on four legs to handle indoor terrain better than wheels. Specific capabilities at your building get confirmed when we visit.
How do I book an X9 demo?+
Ring (833) 350-4739, or write in through the site and say X9. Demos are coming soon and we'll reach out when one is available.
Will X9 be offered across the D.C. region?+
X9 demos are coming soon. Locations for the first deployments will be shared with the demos, and each one keeps the licensing standard our officers already meet.
