From Security Robots to Autonomous Space Rovers
Advancing AI Robotics from Industrial Security to Space Exploration
SMP Robotics is a pioneering developer of autonomous mobile robots designed to operate where humans cannot. From industrial facilities and energy sites to future missions on the Moon, we create intelligent machines that perform routine, dangerous, or distant tasks with precision and reliability.
Company Mission and Vision
Our mission is to automate outdoor work through AI-driven robotics. SMP Robotics is committed to replacing human labor in open-air environments — starting with night security patrols and expanding to operations in extreme heat, cold, or hazardous conditions.
In the near future, our robots will explore other planets, working in vacuum, under cosmic radiation, and across extreme temperature ranges — continuing humanity’s progress through autonomous technology.
Strategic Approach: From Field Robots to Space Exploration
To achieve this vision, SMP Robotics perfects its hardware and AI software through mass-produced security robots, already proven in the real world. These reliable, field-tested components form the foundation for specialized robots — delivering cost-effective, high-reliability solutions across industries:
- Energy and utilities
- Industrial and mining facilities
- Infrastructure and logistics
- Space and planetary research
Our scalable approach ensures space-grade reliability in every autonomous system we build.
History and Achievements
From Prototype to Serial Production
Founded in 2010, SMP Robotics established autonomous mobile robots (UGVs) as a new industrial category. Initial development was supported by private investment and by the parent company SMP, a manufacturer with over 30 years of experience in RF and CCTV technology.
In 2019, SMP Robotics launched commercial production of the Argus S5.2 security robot series, followed by OEM inspection platforms. These solutions quickly gained recognition among global leaders in the energy and industrial sectors.
Present — Global Leadership in Security Robotics
Today, SMP Robotics is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of outdoor autonomous security robots. Our robots protect facilities for Eni, Microsoft, Saudi Electric Company, Komatsu, Westrac, Southern Program Alliance, Covalent Lithium, Gucci US.
More than 80 professionals work across R&D, manufacturing, and support divisions in three countries. SMP Robotics’ robots now operate in 12 countries worldwide, providing 24/7 perimeter patrol and intelligent inspection services.
Future — From Earth to the Moon
Experience gained in ground-based UGV development lays the foundation for our next milestone: autonomous lunar rovers. SMP Robotics is developing a new generation of space robots for lunar scouting and resource exploration, driven by AI capabilities in:
- Visual navigation and autonomous route planning
- Real-time decision-making
- Multi-robot coordination and swarm intelligence
This high-ROI space robotics project aims to make lunar operations economically viable and accelerate future missions to Mars and beyond.
