Intellivix and Tom Shaw Sign MOU: "Aiming to Export Patrol Robot to Australia"

"Argos to Be Deployed at the Brisbane Olympics"

Intellivix announced on the 19th that it had signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Australian security company Tom Shaw for the joint development of a customized version of its autonomous quadrupedal patrol robot, Argos, for the Australian market. The agreement was signed at the ‘World Security Expo (SECON) 2026’, held at KINTEX in Ilsan on March 18.

Intellivix plans to export Argos, equipped with its proprietary ‘Acting AI Agent (VIXA)’ engine, optimized for public safety, military reconnaissance, and police support work in Australia.

The two companies aim to deploy Argos as the official patrol robot responsible for the safety of national key facilities such as the Olympic Village, stadiums, and airports during the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.

Wayne Shaw, founder and CEO of Tom Shaw, who visited South Korea for the signing ceremony, personally observed Argos’ live demonstration at the KINTEX exhibition hall.

During the demonstration, Argos responded autonomously to the voice command, “Hey Argos, start patrol,” and began its patrol. The robot demonstrated the ability to identify objects left in front of a fire hydrant not just as simple obstacles, but as potential ‘fire response obstructions’, generating a report accordingly. It also detected pedestrians, recalculated its route, and identified lost items. Upon the request, “Report patrol status,” Argos summarized its patrol report in a spoken format.

Choi Eunsoo, CEO of Intellivix, said, “Through our partnership with Tom Shaw, we will demonstrate the power of K-AI at the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.”
