The SMP Robotics Argus S5.3 is an autonomous security robot for outdoor patrols on large sites, with 360° cameras, a zoom camera and thermal imaging.
The Argus S5.3 patrols business sites and other large outdoor locations autonomously. Six panoramic cameras provide all-round vision; the robot also has a Full HD PTZ camera with 30× optical zoom and a thermal PTZ camera. According to SMP Robotics, it detects people up to 150 metres at night with thermal imaging and up to 100 metres in daylight with zoom. Range is up to 24 km per charge at 4 to 6 km/h; the robot docks and charges itself. The housing is IP65 and operates from −20 to +55 °C. SMP Robotics names business sites, logistics, data centres, energy infrastructure and campuses as applications. According to the manufacturer the robot can recognise faces at 50 metres; before deployment, establish whether and how this function may be used under the GDPR. SMP Robotics also offers the S5.2. Availability in the Netherlands is not confirmed.
