Ascento Guard 2.0

Our Verdict: The wheel-leg design is genuinely novel — handles stairs and terrain no other security robot can. Swiss engineering quality is evident throughout.

The Ascento Guard 2.0 is a Swiss-engineered security robot with a unique two-wheeled “wheel-leg” design that handles stairs, kerbs, and rough terrain that would stop conventional wheeled robots. Developed from ETH Zurich research, it combines agility with practical security capabilities.
