Application of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR)
Robotics solutions for unmanned delivery, inspection and security
SMP Robotics offers a wide portfolio of autonomous mobile robots for security, agriculture, industrial inspections, and environmental monitoring. Each robot is built on a proven mobile platform with reliable navigation and autonomy, adapted for specific missions.
Security and Surveillance Robots S5.2 and S5.3
- Picard – the most affordable robot in the SMP Robotics lineup.
Designed primarily for video surveillance, Picard is ideal for small facilities or as a customizable platform for carrying third-party payloads. Compact, cost-effective, and practical. - Prompt – a delivery and surveillance robot.
Prompt combines small parcel transportation with video monitoring. Its key advantage is natural voice dialogue control, allowing staff to interact with the robot using everyday speech. This makes Prompt a practical solution for warehouses, campuses, and industrial sites. - Argus – the flagship AI-powered patrol and security robot.
Available in multiple configurations, Argus delivers comprehensive protection:- Continuous perimeter patrol and intrusion prevention with siren and voice alerts.
- Thermal vision for detecting people or vehicles, even beyond fences, at night.
- Facial recognition and human detection powered by onboard AI.
- Acoustic monitoring for suspicious sounds.
Argus seamlessly integrates into any ONVIF-compatible VMS and ensures 24/7, all-weather site security.
Industrial and Environmental Robots
- S2 Environmental Monitoring Robots – configurable for air quality and hazard detection. Depending on setup, they can carry sensors for various gases, dust concentration, radiation, wind speed and direction. One S2 robot can effectively replace multiple stationary monitoring stations, making it a flexible solution for large or remote industrial sites.
- S4 Thermal Inspection Robot – designed for thermal surveys of transformers, motors, and other critical electrical equipment. These robots support predictive maintenance by detecting overheating early, reducing downtime and costly failures.
- S6 Gas Leak Detection Robot – equipped with a remote laser methane detector, the S6 identifies leaks of methane-containing gases and liquids at industrial sites. It is particularly valuable for oil, gas, and petrochemical enterprises, improving safety, reducing risks, and supporting ESG compliance.
Agricultural Robots
- S4 Bird Control Robots – three models with different bird deterrent technologies. They protect orchards, vineyards, and farmland from flocks of birds in automatic mode, with minimal human intervention.
- S8 Mosquito Control Robots – equipped with mosquito traps, these robots clear designated areas from disease-carrying insects. They help improve safety, employee comfort, and business productivity, especially in areas affected by mosquito-borne illnesses such as Zika.
Efficiency and Market Transformation
Autonomous mobile robots significantly increase productivity and reduce operating costs by automating repetitive, labor-intensive tasks such as patrolling, monitoring, and data collection.
With modern communication tools, a single operator can manage up to 10 robots simultaneously, ensuring reliable coverage of large facilities while keeping costs under control.
The robotics service market is entering a new era: as autonomous robots become more affordable, their applications will expand across industries and geographies, reshaping the economics of security, inspection, and environmental monitoring.

Types
The increasing use of robots to patrol large restricted areas enables a rational balance of human and robot abilities. The well-equipped robot carries out long-term surveillance, occasionally switching its position. The security officer only interferes in case of emergency. Even more attractive is the use of security robots in group-patrol mode. In this mode, robots’ movements are interrelated, allowing an entire area of a facility to be secured.
Autonomous wheeled chassis robots serve as all-purpose towing vehicles. Significant traction allows the mobile robot to confidently tow trailers designed to be moved by small garden tractors. Using the robot to tow a container with liquid grass treatment liquid compounds eliminates the need for manual labor and automates the lawn spraying process. A delivery robot Prompt 2021 is supplied for the delivery of small cargoes to dedicated sections on routes other than the road of road traffic.
Autonomous mobile robots help prevent personnel health risks at workplaces with hazardous materials. Despite the use of protective hazmat suits, hazardous environmental related risks to manual laborers incur extra costs. Autonomous robots equipped with gas detectors drive down the costs of measurement and examination in hazardous environments. Mobile ground robots are indispensable to the tasks of long-term measurements on large territories, where measurement results often depend on environmental variants, such as the direction of the wind.
Cleaning snow is a tedious and time-consuming task, especially when snowfall is not heavy enough to justify the use of snow blowers, and manual labor is preferable. A mobile robot equipped with a snowplow can replace a manual laborer using a shovel. If the snow threatens to freeze through to the surface of a road or a parking lot, timely application of the robot can prevent ice build-up.
Of great interest is also the prospective use of ground mobile robots teamed with aerial drones. Using a thin cable, a ground robot can provide power to a soaring drone. This solution allows the drone to remain airborne for much longer than its own batteries would allow. This collaborative robotic system can become a base of effective solutions for high-altitude surveillance or radio broadcasting.
