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).
M20 Pro and M20 Max are the teleoperated robot platform. The Protector add-on turns it into an autonomous security system — with extra hardware and its own software.
Teleoperated robot platform — the operator stays in control
The same platform, plus autonomous security and inspection missions
Without the Protector assembly, the M20 remains a pure remote-control platform — routes, missions, fleet overview, and alert reporting are exclusive to Protector.

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 Protector software edition PRO.
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
Stairs, 45° slopes, single obstacles up to 100 cm — a height where most legged robots reach their limit.
M20 Pro for structured enterprise deployments — M20 Max for extreme terrain, more payload, and longer missions (coming soon).

Both variants: 0.82 × 0.43 × 0.57 m · 35 kg · 3× octa-core computing · SLAM navigation · 2× LiDAR (96 channels) · 2× wide-angle cameras · hot-swappable battery · 1.5 h charge time · optional autonomous charging. ¹ Peak speed measured under test-bench conditions; in customer operation speed is safety-limited to 3 m/s, with 2 m/s as the regular working speed. ² Slope capability measured under test-bench conditions; the value achievable in practice depends on the surface. All figures per DEEP Robotics manufacturer datasheet, as of 08/2026 — the actual delivered configuration prevails.
Autonomous rounds on satellite and 3D maps — consistent, documented, audit-proof, around the clock.
Photo capture at defined inspection points — at identical position and orientation on every run.
Detect heat signatures of people and overheating equipment before they become incidents.
Modular sensors detect gases and hazardous substances in zones too risky for people.
The microphone array hears breaking glass, alarms, and anomalies — even where no camera is looking.
Detects unauthorized entry and open access points, alerting the control center in real time.
Operators of critical infrastructure (KRITIS) face heightened requirements for availability, auditability, and protection. The PUMA M20 supports them with gap-free, documented presence around the clock — GDPR-compliant and built for NIS-2.
The exact scope is tailored per site to your requirements, routes, and interfaces.
Wheel-leg hybrid in winter service: the M20 Max patrols through snow and rough terrain — at down to -30 °C.
With an optional arm on the payload deck, the PUMA M20 operates control cabinets and inspects equipment — teleoperated or autonomous.
SLAM map, waypoints, live camera: a look inside the navigation stack — from stair climbing to mission planning.
Three approaches to 24/7 site security — compared by their strengths and limitations.
