A Monowheel That Patrols

Security guards cost businesses billions annually, yet most facilities can't afford 24/7 coverage. Rollo Robotics is building the world's first stable autonomous monowheel robot — a security guard that never sleeps, never gets tired, and costs a fraction of human patrol services.

The Estonian startup raised €3.7M in pre-seed funding co-led by FoodLabs and PROTOTYPE, with support from Enterprise Estonia. Co-founded by Arno Kutt, creator of the parcel locker robotics company Cleveron, and CEO Sander Sebastian Agur, Rollo uses proprietary gyroscopic stabilization and high-frequency sensor fusion to navigate tight corridors and urban spaces.

Why It Matters

The global security services market exceeds $300 billion, but it's plagued by labor shortages and rising costs. Rollo's monowheel form factor is a first-of-its-kind in autonomous robotics, enabling the robot to operate in spaces too narrow for traditional wheeled platforms. With hybrid security threats on the rise across critical infrastructure, autonomous patrol systems are moving from novelty to necessity.
