Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. reported an other event in which its CEO/CTO Steve Reinharz publicly addressed a widely viewed social media video showing a deployed ROAMEO™ autonomous security patrol vehicle encountering and ultimately clearing a speed bump at a customer site. The company explains that ROAMEO’s repeated approaches reflected a deliberately conservative control strategy, where throttle is progressively increased when commanded movement is not initially achieved, prioritizing safety. The discussion highlights how varying real‑world speed bump geometries challenge autonomous navigation and illustrates how ROAMEO adapts outside typical operating parameters. The company invites stakeholders to view a detailed technical walkthrough in an AITX Weekend Update and to engage with its AI-driven security offerings. AITX also reiterates its broader mission of transforming the nearly $50 billion security and guarding services industry through AI-based, in-house developed Solutions-as-a-Service.

"This press release contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the anticipated completion of the deployment."
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
customer concentration financial
"including, among others: the risk that definitive agreements relating to the ordered unit are not executed ... and customer concentration."
autonomous navigation technical
"discusses the broader realities of developing autonomous navigation for real-world environments."
Autonomous navigation is the technology that allows a vehicle, robot, or vessel to sense its surroundings, make route decisions, and move without constant human control—like a self-guided driver using cameras, sensors, maps and software to find its way. For investors, it matters because it can lower operating costs, enable new business models, and create safety and regulatory challenges that affect a company’s revenue potential and capital needs.

AITX CEO Addresses Viral ROAMEO Video and the Engineering Behind the Moment

Widely Viewed Speed Bump Encounter Offers a Rare Look at Autonomous Vehicle Control in a Live Deployment

Detroit, Michigan, August 10, 2026 -- Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") (OTCID:AITX), a developer and operator of AI-driven security and productivity solutions for enterprise clients, along with its subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices Mobile, Inc. (RAD-M), today commented on a widely circulated social media video showing a deployed ROAMEO™ autonomous security patrol vehicle encountering and ultimately clearing a speed bump while operating at a customer site.

AITX's ROAMEO™ autonomous security patrol vehicle is shown during a live deployment. A widely viewed speed bump encounter prompted AITX CEO Steve Reinharz to explain the engineering behind the robot’s response and what viewers actually saw.

The brief video has generated significant online attention and discussion, offering an unusually public look at the realities of deploying autonomous mobile technology in complex, uncontrolled environments. While some viewers interpreted ROAMEO's repeated approach to the speed bump as hesitation, the vehicle's behavior reflects a deliberately conservative control strategy designed to progressively increase throttle when its commanded movement is not achieved.

ROAMEO's current throttle control is primarily tuned for flat surfaces, normal roadway inclines and smaller obstacles. When the vehicle encounters a steeper or more abrupt geometry requiring greater force to traverse, its control system recognizes the sustained difference between commanded and actual movement and progressively increases throttle output until sufficient force is available to clear the obstacle.

"People watched ROAMEO approach the speed bump, back away, try again and ultimately cross it," said Steve Reinharz, CEO/CTO and founder of AITX and its RAD subsidiaries. "What they were actually watching was autonomous vehicle control responding conservatively to a condition outside its typical operating parameters. ROAMEO recognized that its initial response was insufficient, increased its response and completed the maneuver. That conservative behavior is intentional because throttle and braking directly affect vehicle safety."

Complicating autonomous navigation further is the fact that speed bumps are far from uniform. Across the United States, their height, length, slope and profile can vary substantially depending on whether they are installed on public roadways, private drives or parking areas. Typical roadway speed humps are approximately 3 to 4 inches high, while shorter, more abrupt speed bumps found in parking lots and commercial driveways can be considerably taller, with real-world installations documented at heights reaching 7 inches. That variation means there is no single speed bump geometry against which an autonomous vehicle can simply be calibrated.

Readers interested in seeing the incident and hearing the technical explanation directly from AITX CEO Steve Reinharz are invited to watch the latest AITX Weekend Update, where Reinharz walks through the ROAMEO speed bump encounter, explains the vehicle's response and discusses the broader realities of developing autonomous navigation for real-world environments.

The Company invites prospective clients, channel partners, and industry participants to connect with its team to learn how RAD's solutions can support their security and operational objectives.
