• 70% of K5 Operating Fleet has Now Advanced to Latest Release

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. / Aug 28, 2024 / Business Wire / Knightscope, Inc. [Nasdaq: KSCP] (“Knightscope” or the “Company”), an innovator in robotics and artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies focused on public safety, today announces that four more clients have been upgraded to the fifth generation of its K5 Autonomous Security Robot (“K5v5”). The K5v5 now represents 70% of the Company’s total fleet of security robots in operation and brings it closer to completing another one of the steps on the road to profitability proposed during its first annual Innovation Week earlier this year.

Machine ‘hot-swaps’ began following the engineering release of the fully redesigned K5v5. This all-new security robot is faster to build, improves quality, and is easier to service. When paired with Knightscope’s recently announced Risk & Threat Exposure (“RTX”) enhancement to its Machine-as-a-Service business model, the Company is able to elevate the delivery of public safety tools to its clients. As a result, on-site performance and reliability are strengthened, which raises client value and satisfaction.
