Fortressrobotics

Fortress Robotics is building retrofit intelligence for existing physical security hardware, starting with commercial safes. Our system uses specialized sensors to detect unauthorized access attempts and leverages LLMs to initiate real-time voice calls to business owners, describing the specific threat in natural language. Unlike traditional alarms that trigger generic alerts, our solution provides contextual awareness "Someone is drilling through the left side of your safe" or "The safe door has been forced open." This enables immediate, informed response to security breaches. The core innovation is our sensor-to-language pipeline that translates physical disturbances into actionable intelligence, delivered through natural conversation. This approach dramatically improves response times while making sophisticated security accessible to small businesses that can't afford comprehensive systems.

While billions are invested in next-generation robotics, the vast majority of physical security hardware remains disconnected from intelligence. This creates an immediate opportunity to enhance billions of existing devices rather than replacing them. Monitron is capital-efficient and rapidly deployable we don't need to build new safes, just make existing ones smarter for millions of small businesses globally. The $1.2M robbery that inspired Monitron is unfortunately common, but represents a solvable problem with the right application of AI to existing hardware.
