AI-Powered Autonomous Mobile Robots
SMP Robotics Opens Its AI Mobile Robotics Platform to Developers
SMP Robotics takes the next step in evolving its autonomous robot ecosystem. The company now allows third-party developers to deploy their own AI-powered applications directly onboard mobile robots — enabling advanced video analytics, sound recognition, event detection, and context-aware intelligence.
While developers can access powerful vision and audio systems, the navigation and motion control subsystems remain completely closed and fully managed by SMP Robotics, ensuring operational reliability, predictable performance, and uncompromised safety.
At the core of the platform lies the NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX — a state-of-the-art embedded supercomputer that delivers exceptional performance for deep learning inference at the edge. This architecture opens unlimited opportunities for developers to bring advanced computer vision, acoustic monitoring, and intelligent analytics onto autonomous mobile robots.
Accredited developers can publish their products in the SMP Store, making them instantly available to global users and enterprise clients.
Dual-System Architecture for Safe Autonomous Operation
Each SMP Robotics unit integrates two fully isolated electronic subsystems:
- Navigation and Motion Control System — responsible for autonomous mobility, obstacle avoidance, and route planning.
- Video Surveillance and AI Analytics System — dedicated to real-time video and audio processing using deep neural networks.
This physical and software isolation guarantees that third-party applications cannot interfere with navigation or motion control. The AI system, however, is open for certified developers whose software successfully passes SMP Robotics accreditation and security validation.
AI-Powered Robots Are Now Open to Developers
- AI-ready robot platform powered by NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX
- Dual-system design separating navigation and AI analytics
- Isolated motion control for safe autonomous operation
- Supports certified third-party AI applications
- Secure API for real-time telemetry and event data
- CUDA 11/12 and standard deep-learning framework support
- Edge deployment for vision and acoustic AI models
- Integrated SMP Store marketplace for onboard applications
Onboard AI and Edge Computing
Each robot runs an NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX as its onboard AI computer, managing a PTZ camera and six panoramic cameras for full 360° visual coverage. Developers gain access to real-time telemetry and event data through the read-only API, while all navigation logic remains secured and proprietary.
The platform leverages CUDA 11/12, the de facto global standard for AI and computer vision development. This allows seamless migration of neural models from server-grade GPUs to the robot’s edge environment — minimizing latency and eliminating reliance on unstable network connections.
In 2026, SMP Robotics will introduce robots powered by AGX Orin 32 GB, and by 2027, models featuring AGX Thor 64 GB, offering unprecedented computing capacity for edge AI workloads.
Ready-to-Use Mobile Robotics Platform for AI Development
SMP Robotics offers AI software developers a turnkey mobile platform for embedding and commercializing their solutions. Developers don’t need to deal with navigation, communication, or motion logic — everything is already built in. They can focus entirely on what matters: creating powerful algorithms that make robots smarter, safer, and more valuable to customers.
Accredited applications are distributed through the SMP Store — a global marketplace for onboard AI modules, designed to accelerate innovation and market reach.
Accredited developers also receive special pricing on SMP robots, allowing them to fine-tune their software on real robot hardware and offer their AI products to end customers under special commercial terms.
Emerging AI Analytics for Security and Inspection Robots
Based on years of field deployments worldwide, SMP Robotics has identified several highly promising AI use cases:
- Security and Surveillance: advanced video analytics, fence integrity detection, face and badge recognition, and human behavior analysis.
- Safety Compliance: PPE detection and safety rule enforcement in industrial environments.
- Thermal Monitoring: inspection of high-voltage and power systems, process control in petrochemical facilities, foundries, and permafrost stabilization systems. Thermal analysis is supported via a dedicated 640×480 (8–14 μm) thermal imaging channel.
- Analog Gauge Reading: real-time recognition of pointer-type instruments and mechanical indicators.
The SMP Robotics Global Ecosystem for AI Mobile Robots
SMP Robotics robots operate 24/7 in multiple countries around the world, proving their reliability in real industrial and security applications. Performance monitoring and diagnostics are handled through the SMP Cloud telemetry system, while maintenance is provided by certified local partners.
Accredited developers gain access to a rapidly expanding global market — publishing their applications in the SMP Store, backed by SMP Robotics’ quality control, digital signing, and update management system.
The SMP Robotics Ecosystem unites hardware, software, and cloud services into one seamless environment — driving the future of AI-powered mobile robotics.
