The convergence of over 20 years of security integration and mobile robotics.

"Autonomous Mobile Robots in the commercial and industrial security marketplace would only be practical if they can coexist with current technologies and operate in the intended environment without significant modifcation. They are not a gimmick but a logical and cost effective extension of any security implementation."

Cypress Computer Systems, Inc. has been provding systems and integration solutions to the security, access control, and building automation marketplace. Cypress' Suprex�Technology provides interoperability amongst otherwise incompatible systems. In addition to protocol translation, Suprex�Technology allows any communication medium to be employed in the solution such as twisted pair, RS-485, RS-232, Fiber Optics, Ethernet, and Wireless.

The robotics division of Cypress Computer Systems, Inc. (CCSRobotics) created the SpeciMinder™ robot incorporating many of Cypress' wireless technologies pioneered over the past 20 years and based on the PatrolBot™ platform provided by MobileRobots.

Mobile Robots, Inc is a global leader in the design and manufacture of intelligent mobile bases, sensing systems and software. Their robots are used on six continents and by leading organizations around the world. Their systems have become the most popular intelligent mobile robotics development platforms in the world.

Cypress is a value-added reseller and integrator for Mobile Robots' PatrolBot™ product line. In addtion to sales, support, and training, Cypress offers many derivative products specifically designed for security applications such as guard tour, mustering, remote surveillence, and fire prevention.

"I watched men walking on the moon when I was 10 years old and we were promised flying cars, moon bases, and autonomous robots by the time I was 40. Well, at least we have the robots." - A.J. Diodato / President of Cypress Computer Systems, Inc.

Cypress is a proud sponsor of the Lapeer East High School robotics team known as the "Autonomous Eagles".

Hard to believe it has been 40 years since man landed on the Moon for the first time. It has always remained the most inspirational event in history to those of us pursuing careers in science and technology.
