Robots that can perform guarding tasks and overcome obstacles have already been seen in films such as the Pixar animation "Wall-E ". This film is set 800 years in the future. But similar robots are now becoming reality.

The ETH project Ascento, which started as a focus project in 2018, is becoming a start-up with its latest robot model. The Ascento robot can move anywhere a human can, even over uneven terrain and obstacles. The robot's capabilities can be used for security services to guard large properties at any time of day and in all weather conditions, using 360-degree and thermal security cameras.
