RB-WATCHER
Robotnik AutomationThe RB-WATCHER is an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) developed by Spain-based Robotnik (founded 2002) and launched in 2023, designed for autonomous inspection, security, and surveillance in both indoor and outdoor industrial environments. It features a ruggedised 4WD battery-electric platform (73 kg, IP54, 50 kg payload) equipped with 3D LiDAR, bi-spectral PTZ camera, RGBD stereo camera, GPS, 5G connectivity, and thermal sensors, capable of patrolling, intruder detection, fire/thermal anomaly detection, and real-time data transmission to a control centre. The robot operates autonomously via SLAM-based navigation and a web-based HMI for mission programming, with optional remote control available when needed. It has been commercially deployed at the Port of Alicante (Cybercop project), in Spain's electrical energy sector, and with private security companies, with multiple additional deployments in progress. An XL variant with enhanced autonomy and robustness is also available.

Evidence-graded claims from the Robotnik Automation deep report
United Robotics Group (URG) acquired a majority stake in Robotnik Automation on 13 January 2023.
The acquisition is independently confirmed by both the URG press release [11] and The Robot Report's editorial coverage [13], with consistent date and deal description; the financial terms remain undisclosed.
from Robotnik Automation deep report →
Robotnik AMRs operate autonomously — completing transport, inspection, and navigation tasks without a human performing or driving those tasks — using onboard navigation, mapping, perception, and fleet management software.
All autonomy claims originate exclusively from Robotnik's own official/vendor sources [1][2][4]; no independent field reports, third-party tests, or customer case studies are present in the dossier to corroborate real-world autonomous operation.
from Robotnik Automation deep report →Robotnik's indoor AMR platforms support payload capacities up to 1 tonne and 2 tonnes, while outdoor platforms support up to 150 kg.
Payload figures are stated on Robotnik's official product page [1][7]; the Qviro third-party listing [8] references the RB-VOGUI but does not independently verify indoor payload figures, leaving the 1- and 2-tonne claims vendor-sourced only.
from Robotnik Automation deep report →The RB-VOGUI outdoor robot is capable of navigating slopes up to 47%, with omnidirectional and dual Ackermann kinematics for challenging terrain.
The 47% slope figure is cited by the Qviro third-party product listing [8], which is a commerce/aggregator site rather than an independent test lab, so the specification remains unverified by controlled testing.
from Robotnik Automation deep report →Robotnik's software stack comprises 400+ proprietary ROS/ROS 2 packages covering localisation, navigation, perception, manipulation, and fleet management.
The 400+ package count and full software architecture description come solely from Robotnik's official software solutions page [4]; no independent code audit, academic citation, or third-party review is present in the dossier.
from Robotnik Automation deep report →Robotnik's AMR portfolio serves a broad range of sectors including logistics, manufacturing, inspection, agriculture, aerospace, refinery, and R&D, across 50+ countries.
Sector and geographic coverage claims originate from Robotnik's own company and product pages [1][3][7]; no independent customer deployments, project reports, or press coverage of specific sector use cases are present in the dossier to verify breadth or depth of deployment.
from Robotnik Automation deep report →
Robotnik has deployed 5,000+ robots on the market across 4,500+ customers in 50+ countries.
These figures appear solely on Robotnik's own company page [3] and are not corroborated by any independent source, customer reference, or third-party market report in the dossier.
from Robotnik Automation deep report →Robotnik offers an open hardware and software platform that is fully customisable per customer application.
The 'open platform' claim appears only on Robotnik's official product page [1][7] and is not independently verified; no third-party developer, integrator, or academic user has confirmed open access or customisation capability in the dossier.
