Every day, LoDoMus Prime and his companion Dave patrol two downtown Denver parking garages, observing individuals as they park their cars and hurriedly head to appointments in nearby office buildings.

Should someone linger for an extended period, LoDoMus Prime or Dave initiate a countdown: “Five, four, three, two, one.” Subsequently, the robotic duo contacts their human security counterparts.

Resembling R2D2 but devoid of the characteristic bleeps, boops, and squeaks emitted by the renowned “Star Wars” droid, these robots commenced their duties in the LoDo Towers’ two garages on 17th Street in October 2022, the Greeley Tribune reported.

The decision to deploy them stemmed from the property management’s recognition of an upsurge in car break-ins, explained Bethany Chang, a principal with CIM Group, the firm overseeing the property.

Since the implementation of the robotic patrol, the company has witnessed a reduction of over 70% in car thefts and vandalism, she noted.
