An enduring climate of insecurity
In 2025, South America continues to face a worrying level of crime. According to a ranking compiled by Numbeo, several countries in the region are among the worst affected in the world. Venezuela reaches a crime index of 80.7, followed by Peru (67.1), Guyana (66.3), Brazil (64.5) and Argentina (63.4). Even countries perceived as more stable, such as Chile and Paraguay, exceed the 59 threshold.
In this context, security is becoming a strategic issue for governments and industrial operators alike. And in the face of a wide range of threats, theft, intrusions, vandalism, conventional solutions can sometimes prove inadequate.
A growing market facing rising demand
Faced with this situation, security robots are emerging as essential allies. Technological solutions are no longer a luxury: they are becoming a necessity. And the South American market is starting to respond.
According to Consainsights, in South America, security robots were already worth $670 million in 2023, and could reach $2.25 billion by 2033.
This growth is driven both by increasing security concerns and by government interest in autonomous technologies. Autonomy, reliability, ability to operate in high-risk areas: criteria are changing, and expectations are rising. Security robotics are shifting into a higher gear
THALAMUS makes its mark on a new continent
It is in this context that THALAMUS begins its South American adventure. The first unit has just been shipped, a strategic moment for Glocal Robotics and an important milestone for this robot designed for sensitive missions.
Designed for adaptability, this new version of the THALAMUS sports a sand-colored finish ideal for sunny, dusty climates. More robust, it incorporates a series of improvements designed for demanding terrain.
With this operation, THALAMUS asserts itself as a reliable, autonomous tool, capable of ensuring a constant, responsive presence, even where conditions are hostile. In a region where security remains a major challenge, the robot meets a pressing need, bringing proven technology already adopted on other sensitive environments.
The images speak for themselves: THALAMUS is on its way, and the journey is just beginning.
