Inspection, Security & Monitoring Robots

AI Vision for Quality Control, Site Security & Autonomous Patrols

What are Inspection, Security & Monitoring Robots?

These robots use AI-powered cameras and sensors to inspect products for defects, patrol facilities for security threats, and continuously monitor equipment or infrastructure for anomalies — providing consistent, 24/7 coverage that is difficult to match with human patrols alone.

AGIBOT D1 MaxPro IP67

AGIBOT D1 MaxPro IP67

The AGIBOT D1 MaxPro IP67 is a heavy-duty industrial quadruped designed for sustained payload transport, material handling, emergency-response support and custom remote or autonomous operations. It carries a rated 50 kg payload while weighing 68 kg, uses a 2,081 Wh battery, and delivers 5.5 ± 0.5 hours unloaded or at least 2 hours under a 50 kg load, with a published operational range of 21 ± 1 km unloaded and 11 ± 1 km at full load. The platform climbs continuous stairs up to 30 cm, including open-riser industrial stairs, supports self-righting after a fall, and is rated for 45-degree slopes. IP67 protection, operation from -20°C to 55°C and published operation in water up to 20 cm deep support harsh-site deployment. A 117 TOPS GPU compute module, front 96-channel LiDAR, front and rear wide-angle cameras, automotive-grade IMU, TCP/ROS SDK and extensive power/data interfaces provide an industrial base for integrator-developed payloads and autonomy.

AGIBOT D1 Pro

AGIBOT D1 Pro

The AGIBOT D1 Pro is a compact, remotely operated quadruped designed for agile demonstrations, light-item carriage, education and remotely supervised inspection or security experiments. It weighs 15.5 kg, carries a 5 kg effective payload, reaches 3.5 m/s and operates for approximately 1-2 hours, with reinforcement-learning-based gait control, 16 cm continuous stair climbing and a 35 cm vertical jump. The supplied joystick controller and real-time image transmission support straightforward teleoperation, while the 48 N·m joints, self-balancing and anti-fall behaviours support dynamic movement across varied ground surfaces. Unlike the D1 Edu, the Pro version does not support an SDK or functional expansion ports, so buyers should treat it as an out-of-the-box remote platform rather than a secondary-development robot.

AGIBOT D1 Ultra IP54

AGIBOT D1 Ultra IP54

The AGIBOT D1 Ultra IP54 is a compact industrial quadruped designed for security, inspection, emergency-response support, research and custom payload applications. It weighs 15.5 kg, carries a rated 5 kg payload, reaches 3.7 m/s and provides 1-2 hours of runtime with a published range of 6 ± 1 km. Reinforcement-learning gait control supports self-balancing, anti-tipping and disturbance rejection, with continuous stair climbing up to 16 cm, jumps up to 35 cm, and slopes rated at 30° in standard conditions or 40° in extreme conditions. IP54 protection, sealed and anti-corrosion core components, and operation from 0°C to 40°C support deployment around dust, splashes, damp, mud and sand. A 12-DoF platform, 8-core CPU, 1080p wide-field camera, IMU, M4 payload mounting, Gigabit Ethernet, USB, power, SBUS and UART interfaces, and an open high-/low-level SDK provide a strong base for integrator-developed sensing, teleoperation and autonomy. Intelligent following, mapping, patrol and autonomous navigation require secondary development and optional sensors.

AGIBOT D1 Ultra-W IP54

AGIBOT D1 Ultra-W IP54

The AGIBOT D1 Ultra-W IP54 is a compact wheeled-legged quadruped platform for inspection, security, emergency-response support, research and custom payload development. AGIBOT's official Ultra-W development guide specifies a 22 kg body, 16 total degrees of freedom (four per leg), a 5 kg rated payload, 3.7 m/s maximum speed, 1-2 hours of runtime and 9 km range. Its hybrid mobility envelope includes continuous stair climbing up to 16 cm, a 35 cm jump, maximum climbing height of 60 cm, and 30° standard or 40° extreme-condition slope capability. The 43.2 V, 4.6 Ah battery charges in about one hour. IP54 protection and a 0°C to 40°C operating range support mixed indoor and sheltered outdoor work. A 1080p wide-field camera, standard IMU, Wi-Fi 5.0, Bluetooth 5.0, Gigabit Ethernet, USB, power, SBUS and UART interfaces, real-time video and an official high-level SDK support teleoperation and secondary development. Packaged autonomous navigation, obstacle avoidance, fleet management and autonomous charging are not published as standard functions.

Frequently asked questions

What does an inspection or patrol robot cost?

$40,000–$120,000 per system, saving $35,000–$75,000 a year in the deployments we track. Payback is typically 12–24 months.

How does a patrol robot compare with hiring guards?

In a North American warehouse park, one quadruped covered the patrol workload of roughly three security employees, cutting patrol labour costs 66%. Most sites use robots for repetitive routes and keep people for response and judgment calls.

How accurate is robot inspection?

The deployments on this page run at 95–98% detection accuracy. Zhejiang Power Utility's substation robot completes rounds in under 35 minutes (versus over an hour manually) at 98% inspection accuracy.

Can they handle stairs, kerbs and outdoor terrain?

Quadruped platforms can — that’s their advantage over wheeled patrols. Certis chose a quadruped specifically because stairs and uneven terrain created patrol gaps.

Will it integrate with our security operations centre or SCADA?

Yes — SOC and MES/ERP integration is a standard selection criterion, and Zhejiang's robot reports directly into existing SCADA for automated reporting.

What data do we get?

Auditable, time-stamped patrol and inspection logs, live video, thermal imagery and sensor readings (gas, anomaly detection) — evidence-grade records generated automatically.
