Japan's Secom Group, parent company of Taiwan Secom, unveiled its own patrol and surveillance robot, Robot X, in 2004. The model, which looks like a small electric car, detects smoke and fires. It can also move at up to ten kilometers per hour--nearly as fast as a human can run--and is intended primarily for deployment in harbors, manufacturing facilities, and other large installations.
與國內中興保全公司有業務合作關係的日本 SECOM 公司，2004 年曾對外展示一款造型像一輛電動車的巡邏監視機器人「Robot X」，除了具有火災感測、煙霧警示功能外，它的最高前進時速可達到 10 公里，幾乎和人跑步的速度一樣快，主要用於區域較大的港口與工廠。
