Intellivix, an AI video analytics specialist, has announced a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Australian security firm Tom Shaw to jointly develop an autonomous quadruped patrol robot, aimed at revolutionizing public safety and defense applications.
The partnership, unveiled at SECON 2026 held at Kintex in Goyang, South Korea, will focus on customizing Intellivix’s Argos robot to meet the specific security requirements of the Australian market. The long-term vision includes expanding the robot’s deployment globally.
A significant milestone for this collaboration is the 2032 Brisbane Olympics. The companies are planning to deploy the Argos robot for comprehensive patrol duties across critical infrastructure, encompassing the athletes’ village, stadiums, and airports.
During the SECON 2026 exhibition, Intellivix provided a live demonstration of Argos’ advanced capabilities. The robot initiated patrols using voice commands, navigated autonomously, identified potential hazards such as fire risks, and intelligently adjusted its route to avoid pedestrians.
Argos also generated real-time operational reports, delivering both concise text summaries and detailed audio briefings. This positions Argos as a proactive AI agent, offering more than just passive monitoring.
“We will showcase K-AI on the global stage through the 2032 Brisbane Olympics,” stated Intellivix CEO Choi Eun-soo, highlighting the company’s commitment to global innovation.
Tom Shaw CEO Wayne Shaw emphasized the synergistic nature of the partnership, combining expertise in both cyber and physical security.
“Argos is not just a robot, but an AI safety commander that could reshape the global security market,” he added, underscoring the transformative potential of the technology.
