Yes. A robotic security guard is considered security equipment and subject to licensing requirements in relation to its sale and repair.

Anyone using a robotic security guard would be considered to be patrolling, protecting or guarding property by electronic means and would need to hold a Class 1A (Security Officer) operative licence.

If a robotic security guard is not used for transporting people or goods, it is not considered to be a "vehicle" and therefore the display of a Master licence number on the device is not required. However, if the robotic security guard is also a "segway" and ridden by a security guard, then the device would need to display the Master licence number and the rider would need to hold a Class 1A (Security Officer) operative licence.
