Guotou Intelligent Ventures into Smart Security Solutions with Human-Machine Collaboration Approach

Guotou Intelligent has recently announced a significant investment in the field of embodied intelligence in security, positioning it as a crucial part of the company’s strategy of “two stabilizations, three expansions, and one service.” The company aims to develop an integrated intelligent defense solution through its comprehensive self-research technology, combining “platform + body + wearable” elements. This initiative seeks to transform the security industry from a model primarily reliant on human intervention and supplementary technical measures to one centered on intelligent defense and human-machine collaboration.

Traditionally, China’s security industry has operated under a “human security + physical security + technical security” model. However, rising labor costs and increasing governance requirements have exposed the limitations of this conventional approach. Challenges include an aging workforce, difficulties in recruitment, high costs, and significant employee turnover. Moreover, manual patrols often have blind spots and are prone to errors, making it difficult to maintain standardized monitoring around the clock. Additionally, traditional security equipment tends to be scattered and independent, with data not interconnected, hindering proactive alerts and comprehensive coordination.

In the realm of security services, the application of security robots remains limited in terms of scale and practical usage. The maturation of embodied intelligence offers a new technological pathway for the industry. Unlike conventional security practices, which tend to react passively and investigate retrospectively, embodied intelligence enables environmental perception, autonomous decision-making, collaborative work, and proactive handling of situations.

Teng Da, the chairman of Guotou Intelligent, stated that the core of introducing embodied intelligence into security scenarios is to reshape the service delivery model. By implementing a human-machine collaborative approach where robots handle high-frequency patrols, fixed-point monitoring, anomaly detection, facility inspections, and nighttime security, human security personnel can focus on emergency response, service communication, and complex decision-making tasks, thereby shifting the industry from workforce-intensive to high-efficiency standards.

As a technology enterprise under Guotou Group, specializing in big data and artificial intelligence, Guotou Intelligent leverages over 20 years of experience in the public safety sector to transform capabilities such as public safety big data, multi-modal large models, and intelligent scheduling into practical security products. The company has incorporated embodied intelligence into its “14th Five-Year Plan,” planning to establish an Embodied Intelligence Research Institute in collaboration with universities to deepen industry-research partnerships and build a comprehensive self-research capability ranging from foundational algorithms and scheduling platforms to intelligent bodies and wearable terminals.

In addressing real-world security scenarios, Guotou Intelligent has developed a solution comprising a “unified scheduling platform + multi-form intelligent bodies + human-machine collaborative wearable terminals.” The multi-robot collaborative management platform serves as the central hub, enabling unified device access, multi-machine collaborative scheduling, real-time data sharing, and intelligent decision-making. Outdoor wheeled and indoor patrol robots have completed prototype development and can cover various scenarios, including parks, office buildings, docks, and campuses. The Yuan Zhi intelligent camera headphones have reached the final design stage and are undergoing small-scale production, providing frontline personnel with real-time alerts, voice scheduling, guidelines, and one-click assistance.

This solution creates a comprehensive mechanism that includes “robotic patrol across all areas—platform intelligent alerts—precise terminal scheduling—standardized human response—feedback loop.” To date, Guotou Intelligent has made significant progress in technology, ecosystem, and scenarios, with prototypes of robots, intelligent camera headphones, and scheduling platforms fully operational. The company has formed strategic partnerships with security firms such as Zhongbao Hu’an and Dongnan Special Guards, and has completed research and pilot projects in schools, docks, and office buildings, with verification in office building scenarios already achieved. Moving forward, the company will continue to advance technology development, industry collaboration, and scenario promotion.
