Knightscope Joins AUVSI to Advance Autonomous Systems Policy

SUNNYVALE, Calif. —Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ:KSCP), a leader in developing autonomous security robots and artificial intelligence technologies, announced today that it has joined the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI). AUVSI is the world’s largest nonprofit organization devoted to the advancement of uncrewed systems and robotics, and Knightscope’s new membership underscores the Company’s commitment to national leadership in autonomous security innovation. By joining AUVSI, Knightscope stands alongside industry giants in shaping the future of autonomous systems policy in the United States of America.

AUVSI

Knightscope will take an active role in AUVSI’s Cyber, Ground, and Defense Advocacy Committees as well as the newly created Robotics Subcommittee, which drive strategic policies and funding priorities for uncrewed systems across government and industry. A key policy development initiative is a focus on a National Robotics Strategy. Through these committees, Knightscope will contribute its real-world expertise in autonomous ground robotics and cybersecurity to inform national standards and legislation that enhance public safety and protect critical infrastructure. This strategic engagement not only amplifies Knightscope’s voice in key policy discussions but also strengthens its influence in the federal sector, reinforcing the Company’s role as a key stakeholder in the future of autonomous security and defense technologies.

“Knightscope has always championed innovation in the name of public safety, and joining AUVSI enables us to push that mission even further,” said William Santana Li, chairman and chief executive officer of Knightscope. “We are proud to collaborate with other industry pioneers through AUVSI to accelerate the adoption of life-saving autonomous technologies, and we intend to help shape the policies that will make America safer and stronger in the years and decades to come.”

Knightscope’s overarching mission is to make the United States of America the safest country in the world. Every innovation the Company brings to market – from its Autonomous Security Robots that deter crime to its AI-driven detection systems that provide 24/7 situational awareness – serves this mission by enhancing national security and public safety. By infusing this mission-driven approach into forums like AUVSI, Knightscope aims to influence the broader adoption of technologies that protect the public and support those who safeguard our Nation.
