Silicon Valley firm Knightscope is best known for its K5 security robot: an ovoid tower on wheels that — when it’s not knocking over toddlers or falling into fountains — patrols a few dozen of California’s parking lots and malls. But the company is now introducing two new model to its line-up: the K1 stationary bot and the K7 buggy, pictured above.

Knightscope has been teasing the K7 for a while now, but showed it off in person at a press event this week. The K7 is five feet high and nearly ten feet long, and is designed to patrol grass, gravel, sand, and other tricky terrain. It’s speed is currently limited to 3 mph, but it can go much faster.

Like the K5, it navigates autonomously and has a suite of sensors and cameras that relay audio and video back to a human supervisor. The K1, meanwhile, doesn’t move, but uses millimeter-wave technology to scan for concealed weapons and other metal items. Knightscope says it could be used at hospitals and airports, and is more convenient than a scanner you have to walk through.
