Cobalt Robotics, which makes indoors autonomous security robots, just got a significant boost to give human guards a hand. Following a $13 million Series A last March, the company just closed a $35 million Series B.

Like its better known competitor Knightscope, Cobalt’s security guards rove around security sensitive locations to monitor facilities utilizing an onboard sensor package. Cobalt’s five-foot blue robots have 60 sensors in all, including video, RGB, infrared, thermal, ultrasonic, and lidar.
