Autonomous Outdoor Security & Inspection Robots

SMP Robotics (SMP Robotics Systems Corp.) is a global developer and manufacturer of autonomous outdoor security and inspection robots. Founded in 2010, the company specializes in rugged, all-weather mobile robots designed for 24/7 perimeter patrol, surveillance, and industrial inspection in demanding environments. SMP Robotics focuses on providing reliable, AI-enhanced solutions for critical infrastructure protection, with a strong emphasis on Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) models to make deployment more accessible. The company has installations in over 15 countries and serves major clients including Eni, Komatsu, Saudi Electricity Company, and Thermo Fisher Scientific.

SMP Robotics builds tough, IP65-rated platforms capable of operating in extreme temperatures (-20°C to +55°C) and challenging outdoor conditions. Its robots combine autonomous navigation, advanced sensors, and seamless integration with existing security systems (ONVIF VMS such as Genetec, Milestone, and Avigilon).

Key Robot-Based Products:

• Argus S5.3 (2024 model): The flagship autonomous security and patrol robot. It offers fully autonomous 24/7 patrolling (single units or coordinated fleets), panoramic video surveillance, facial recognition (up to 50 meters), acoustic monitoring, and real-time alerts. One operator can supervise multiple units.
• Argus S5.4 (2026 model): Enhanced version with NVIDIA Jetson Orin edge computing for onboard AI analytics, low-latency PTZ camera control, and support for third-party video intelligence applications. It is designed as a production-grade platform for advanced AI-driven security.
• Specialized Inspection Robots: Variants equipped for thermal imaging, gas leak detection, air quality monitoring, and electrical substation inspection. These support industrial applications in oil & gas, chemical plants, solar farms, mining, and data centers.

SMP Robotics stands out for its focus on practical, all-terrain outdoor autonomy, strong perimeter security capabilities, and flexible purchasing options (outright purchase or RaaS). The company continues to expand its AI capabilities and partner network to support large-scale deployments.
