Application of Autonomous Mobile Robots

SMP Robotics provides a broad range of autonomous mobile robots designed for applications in security, agriculture, industrial inspection, and environmental monitoring. Each robot is based on a reliable mobile platform, featuring proven navigation and autonomy, with configurations tailored to specific operational tasks.

Security and Surveillance Robots: S5.2 and S5.3

Picard – Entry-level security robot
Picard is the most cost-effective robot offered by SMP Robotics, mainly designed for video monitoring. Perfect for smaller facilities or as a versatile platform for third-party payloads, Picard is compact, affordable, and practical.

Prompt – Delivery and surveillance combined
Prompt is a multi-purpose robot capable of transporting small items while providing video monitoring. It features natural voice interaction, enabling staff to communicate with it using simple commands. This makes it ideal for warehouses, campuses, and industrial environments.

Argus – Advanced AI-powered security robot
Argus is the flagship patrol robot with multiple configurations for comprehensive site protection:

Continuous perimeter monitoring with audio and visual alerts.

Thermal imaging to detect people or vehicles at night, even beyond fences.

AI-driven facial recognition and human detection.

Acoustic detection of suspicious sounds.
Argus integrates with ONVIF-compatible video management systems, ensuring 24/7 security under all weather conditions.

Industrial and Environmental Robots

S2 Environmental Monitoring Robots
These robots are equipped for monitoring air quality and hazards. They can be fitted with sensors for gases, dust levels, radiation, and wind conditions. A single S2 can replace multiple fixed monitoring stations, making it a flexible solution for large industrial sites or remote locations.

S4 Thermal Inspection Robot
Designed for thermal analysis of transformers, motors, and other critical electrical equipment, the S4 aids in predictive maintenance by identifying overheating before failures occur, reducing downtime and costly repairs.

S6 Gas Leak Detection Robot
Equipped with a remote laser methane sensor, the S6 detects methane and other gas leaks in industrial environments. It is particularly useful for oil, gas, and petrochemical facilities, improving safety and supporting ESG compliance.

Agricultural Robots

S4 Bird Control Robots
Available in three versions with different bird deterrent technologies, these robots protect orchards, vineyards, and crops with minimal human supervision.

S8 Mosquito Control Robots
These robots carry mosquito traps to reduce populations in designated areas, enhancing worker safety and comfort, especially in regions affected by mosquito-borne diseases such as Zika.

Advantages and Market Impact

Autonomous mobile robots enhance productivity and lower operational costs by taking over repetitive and labor-intensive tasks, such as patrolling, monitoring, and data collection.

Modern communication systems allow one operator to supervise up to ten robots at once, ensuring effective coverage of large facilities while controlling costs. As robots become more affordable, their deployment is expanding across industries, transforming the economics of security, inspection, and environmental management.

Robot Types

Security Robots and Guards
These robots can patrol large, restricted areas with minimal human supervision. They are capable of continuous surveillance and can operate in coordinated groups for complete site coverage.

Transport Robots and Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs)
Equipped with autonomous wheeled platforms, these robots can tow trailers or containers, such as for automated lawn spraying or small parcel delivery, reducing manual labor requirements.

Hazmat Robots
Designed for hazardous environments, these robots lower the risk to personnel while measuring gases and monitoring hazardous areas, reducing operational costs and improving safety.

Snow-Loading and Snow-Clearing Robots
Robots equipped with snowplows can replace manual labor for snow removal and prevent ice buildup, especially in light snowfall conditions.

Unmanned Robotic Complexes
Combining ground robots with drones can extend airborne operation time. Ground robots can supply power via thin cables, enabling drones to remain aloft far longer than their battery would allow. This collaborative system is promising for high-altitude surveillance or broadcasting applications.

SMP Robotics’ solutions offer reliable, autonomous platforms that are ready for immediate deployment across diverse sectors, increasing efficiency, safety, and operational flexibility.
