Product Description
PUMA M20 Protector by inMotion Robotic (Frankfurt): autonomous wheel-leg patrol robot with onboard AI, thermal PTZ, and the GDPR-compliant Protector suite — 24/7 perimeter security for logistics, energy, and critical infrastructure. Made in Europe.
PUMA M20 Protector is the next generation of security patrol: an autonomous wheel-leg robot that climbs stairs, masters 45° slopes, and patrols in any weather — day and night, from -30 °C to +55 °C. Engineered by inMotion Robotic GmbH in Frankfurt, Germany. Made in Europe.
Static cameras leave blind spots, and human rounds do not scale equally well everywhere. The PUMA M20 closes that gap with dynamic sensor coverage: thermal PTZ, dual LiDAR, front/rear cameras, and modular payloads (gas, acoustic, custom sensors) deliver consistent, audit-proof data — captured at identical positions on every run.
What the PUMA M20 is built for
24/7 perimeter patrol for logistics hubs, ports, and industrial campuses
Hazardous-zone inspection in energy and critical infrastructure — without exposing personnel
Thermal detection, gas & hazard detection, acoustic monitoring
Access-point control with real-time alerts to the control center
Onboard AI from Europe. The ZYGO Cognitive AI Engine runs directly on the robot — detect & decide with no cloud dependency. The Protector software suite (Basic to Enterprise) provides route planning on satellite and 3D maps, geofencing, 360° live video with two-way audio, and notifications via app, e-mail, or WhatsApp — GDPR-compliant (Art. 25/28/32), NIS-2-ready, prepared for the EU AI Act.
Proven in the field: 70% faster incident response, 3× the area coverage of human rounds, and 98% availability. Two variants: M20 Pro (enterprise platform, IP66) and M20 Max (extreme terrain, coming soon).
Measurably better security.

Anatomy of a watchdog
From the thermal PTZ to the wheel-leg hybrid: every component of the PUMA M20 is built for one job — gapless, audit-proof security data. In any weather, on any terrain.
PTZ tower with thermal imaging
The pan-tilt-zoom camera with thermal imaging detects people, heat signatures, and anomalies — AI-driven from the PRO edition.
Status LEDs & two-way audio
Visible presence with signal lights; live audio and intercom straight from the control center (PRO and up).
Modular payload deck
Up to 15 kg (Pro) or 35 kg (Max) for gas sensors, acoustics, specialty cameras — or a robot arm.
Weatherproof up to IP67
IP66/IP67 rated and operational from -30 to +55 °C: rain, dust, heat, and frost never stop a patrol.
Wheel-leg hybrid drive
Drives up to 9 m/s (lab), climbs stairs, masters 45° slopes and 30 cm obstacles — where wheeled robots give up.
Two variants. One standard.
M20 Pro for structured enterprise deployments — M20 Max for extreme terrain, more payload, and longer missions (coming soon).

Six capabilities. One robot. Zero blind spots.
Perimeter patrol
Autonomous rounds on satellite and 3D maps — consistent, documented, audit-proof, around the clock.
Visual inspection
Photo capture at defined inspection points — at identical position and orientation on every run.
Thermal detection
Detect heat signatures of people and overheating equipment before they become incidents.
Gas & hazard detection
Modular sensors detect gases and hazardous substances in zones too risky for people.
Acoustic monitoring
The microphone array hears breaking glass, alarms, and anomalies — even where no camera is looking.
Access-point control
Detects unauthorized entry and open access points, alerting the control center in real time.

Manipulation
Inspection with a robot arm
With an optional arm on the payload deck, the PUMA M20 operates control cabinets and inspects equipment — teleoperated or autonomous.
Mission control
Autonomy you can watch
SLAM map, waypoints, live camera: a look inside the navigation stack — from stair climbing to mission planning.
Human. Robot. Drone. Compared in operation.
Three approaches to 24/7 site security — compared by their strengths and limitations.
Human
3× security officers
Pros
- Judgment & de-escalation
- Legal authority to act
- Social presence
Cons
- Staffing and rostering needs
- Fatigue & human error
- Limited scalability
- Personal risk
Recommended combination
PUMA M20 + AI
Operator-robot team
Pros
- 24/7 without breaks
- Consistent, audit-proof data
- No personal risk
- Self-learning AI
- Remote intervention by operator
- Scalable to a fleet
Cons
- Planning and maintenance required
Drone
Autonomous UAV system
Pros
- Covers large areas fast
- Thermal & night vision
- Flexible aerial perspective
Cons
- No physical on-site presence
- Weather-dependent
- 30–60 min flight time
- Regulatory constraints (BVLOS)
Recommendation: PUMA M20 as the primary system, drones to supplement large areas — and your security staff for escalation and legal action. Strategically relieved, not replaced.
