AITX (AITX) expands Florida ROSA deployment with 23-unit community order
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (AITX) filed an 8-K to furnish a press release from its subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices (RAD). The release announces an expansion order for 23 ROSA autonomous security units placed through an authorized channel partner.
The ROSA devices will be deployed across a single Florida residential community after a proof-of-concept in which one unit monitored a community pool and exceeded performance expectations. That success led community leadership to extend coverage to 24 swimming pool locations, illustrating RAD’s “land and expand” pattern where initial trials progress to full-site adoption and recurring service revenue.
The filing also highlights ROSA’s AI-driven capabilities such as human, vehicle and firearm detection, license plate recognition, digital signage, audio messaging, and integration with RAD’s software suite. AITX reiterates its focus on AI-based, Solutions-as-a-Service security offerings and notes a sales pipeline that includes more than 35 Fortune 500 prospects.

AITX's RAD Books 23 ROSA Units Following Successful Florida Proof of Concept
Single Site Deployment Expands to Full Community Coverage After Exceeding Expectations
Detroit, Michigan, February 9, 2026 -- Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") (OTCID:AITX), a global leader in AI-driven security and productivity solutions, along with its wholly owned subsidiary, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), announced today that it has received an expansion order for 23 ROSA™ autonomous security units through an authorized RAD channel partner. The units will be deployed across a single residential community following a successful proof of concept in which one ROSA was initially installed to monitor a community pool. After exceeding performance expectations, the deployment expanded to provide autonomous oversight across 24 swimming pool locations throughout the property.

This expansion reflects how authorized RAD channel partners are driving adoption through disciplined execution and repeatable outcomes. Rather than leading with scale, the partner began with a single ROSA deployment as a proof of concept, allowing the end user to validate performance in a live environment. Once expectations were exceeded, the deployment expanded naturally to full site coverage. This land and expand pattern has become increasingly consistent across RAD's channel, reinforcing partner productivity and end user confidence as deployments scale from initial validation to broader adoption.
"Expansion orders like this are exactly how autonomous security platforms scale," said Steve Reinharz, CEO/CTO and founder of AITX and RAD. "A single deployment proves the capability, but full site adoption is what drives long term value. As businesses, municipalities and communities move from testing to trusting autonomy, we see predictable expansion behavior that compounds across deployments and strengthens our recurring revenue base. This is not about one device. It is about platforms earning the right to grow."
Florida has become a focal point for adoption of autonomous security as population growth, active adult communities, and rising insurance scrutiny increase the need for consistent oversight across shared amenities. In this case, the initial ROSA deployment demonstrated reliable performance in a real-world residential environment, prompting community leadership to expand coverage across its entire portfolio of swimming pool facilities. The progression from a single location to full community deployment reflects how autonomous security platforms are being evaluated, proven, and then scaled once expectations are exceeded.
"This type of expansion reflects how our channel partners are engaging end users today," said Troy McCanna, Chief Revenue Officer and Chief Security Officer of RAD. "RAD's channel partners are not leading with volume. They are leading with performance. Once a ROSA proves itself in a live environment, expansion follows naturally. What we are seeing is disciplined land and expand execution, where partners earn trust, deliver results, and then scale deployments across entire properties."
ROSA is a multiple award-winning, compact, self-contained, portable, security and communication solution that can be installed and activated in about 15 minutes. ROSA's AI-driven security analytics include human, firearm, vehicle detection, license plate recognition, responsive digital signage and audio messaging, and complete integration with RAD's software suite notification and autonomous response library. Two-way communication is optimized for cellular, including live video from ROSA's high-resolution, full-color, always-on cameras. RAD has published seven Case Studies detailing how ROSA has helped eliminate instances of theft, trespassing and loitering at construction sites, mobile home parks, retail centers, hospital campuses, multi-family communities across the country.
RAD invites security professionals, community operators, and channel partners to experience ROSA in action at ISC West 2026. Attendees will have the opportunity to see live demonstrations, speak directly with RAD leadership and product experts, and learn how autonomous security deployments are being proven, expanded, and scaled across real world environments. Meetings may be scheduled in advance or arranged onsite throughout the show.
