Clearpath Warthog

Warthog

Warthog is a large all terrain unmanned ground vehicle that can move briefly in water. With its sturdy structure, low ground pressure, and traction tires, it can withstand harsh environments and easily move on soft soil, vegetation, thick mud, and steep slopes. The payload mounting plate and accessible power and communication ports allow Warthog to easily customize sensors, robotic arms, and other payloads to adapt to various robot applications in mining, agriculture, and environmental monitoring.

Features

RUGGED & VERSATILE: Warthog is engineered to go where no other UGV can. Its rugged, lightweight steel and aluminum build gives it low ground pressure and traction to tackle all types of difficult terrains including steep grades and soft soils.

ROS READY: Warthog’s onboard PC comes with the open-source Robot Operating System (ROS) preinstalled and configured. Rich documentation, demos and tutorials are provided, along with a 3D simulation model for Gazebo to help you get started quickly and hassle-free.

FULLY EXTENSIBLE: When research changes, so should your hardware. Integrate third-party sensors and manipulators quickly and easily with flexible payload mounting, easy to access power and reconfigurable I/O (Ethernet, USB, WIFI, etc). Mobile robot prototyping has never been faster or easier.

HIGH PERFORMANCE: Warthog’s powerful drivetrain is capable of moving 272 kg of payload and can reach speeds up to 18 km/hr on land. The optional trailer hitch provides ample force for towing massive payloads and industry-standard implements with ease.

EXPANDABLE POWER: Warthog comes with a 100 Ah, 48V Sealed AGM Lead Acid battery pack, which can easily be upgraded to a Lithium-ion pack allowing for up to 8 hrs of run time. Inboard 5V, 12V, 24V and 48V, independently fused user power sources can easily supply large power-hungry payloads like manipulators and agricultural implements for hours.
