Go2 Patrol — Campus Security Research
A research dossier evaluating quadrupedal robotics in university security, with every limit written as a checkable rule.
The starting point.
Go2 Patrol is a research dossier, not a deployment. It evaluates what a Unitree Go2 quadrupedal robot could contribute to campus security, and writes every limit as a rule, a control that enforces it, and a way to verify it. The chosen model is hybrid: existing infrastructure (CCTV, access control, alarms) stays the base, robotic patrols supplement it, monitoring stays central, and response stays human. The prototype describes a single Go2 following a fixed route with named checkpoints, a live camera feed, and obstruction detection that security staff confirm or dismiss. Eight constraint areas are documented — physical safety, privacy, AI reliability, human oversight, cybersecurity, battery, environment and cost. An alert never triggers a sanction, a police call or an entry in a student file; the robot observes, alerts and withdraws. No robot is owned or operated by this project: the patrol simulator is the interactive artifact already built for the presentation.
Research dossier published, with eight constraint areas documented and an eight-condition deployment gate. Prototype and simulator are simulated.
