Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc., a subsidiary of Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc., is thrilled to announce the successful deployment of 4 RAD RIO™ (ROSA Independent Observatory) solar-powered mobile surveillance units (MSU) during the 2024 CMA Fest in Nashville, Tennessee.
The CMA Fest, one of the most significant country music events in the world, saw tens of thousands of fans flock to Nashville for an unforgettable weekend of music and entertainment. Ensuring the safety and security of such a large gathering is always a top priority, and this year, RIO played a crucial role in achieving that goal.
Advanced AI technology
Throughout the festival, the RIO units were strategically placed across key locations to enhance security coverage. The units operated flawlessly, providing continuous surveillance, monitoring for potential threats, and ensuring rapid response capabilities.
