Vision 60

by Ghost Robotics

Released: 2016

💰 USD 100,000 – 150,000

The Vision 60 by Ghost Robotics is a mid-sized, high-endurance, agile, and durable all-weather quadrupedal unmanned ground vehicle (Q-UGV) designed for defense, homeland security, industrial, mining, energy, and enterprise applications. It excels in unstructured urban and natural environments, featuring proprietary blind-mode navigation that allows it to traverse tall grass, unknown terrain, and obstacles even when sensors are obscured by mud, rain, snow, or sunlight, mimicking mammalian locomotion. Key capabilities include IP67/IP68-rated ruggedness for dust, water submersion up to 1m for 30 minutes, operation from -40°C to 55°C, speeds up to 3 m/s, payload capacity up to 14kg, modular payloads like robotic arms, LiDAR, thermal cameras, and CBRNE sensors, NVIDIA Jetson onboard computing for real-time edge AI, flexible communications via Wi-Fi, 4G/LTE, and external radios, and endurance up to 4 hours continuous motion or 21 hours standby. It supports gaits like sprint, crawl, leap, stair-climbing, with self-righting and high-bandwidth force control at 2kHz for compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about this robot

Q1. What is Vision 60, and what problem is it designed to solve?

Vision 60 is a quadrupedal unmanned ground vehicle designed by Ghost Robotics for autonomous navigation in challenging, hazardous, or difficult-to-access environments. According to the manufacturer, it addresses the need to deploy robotic systems for reconnaissance, inspection, and situational awareness in terrain where wheeled or tracked vehicles are limited, reducing human exposure to risk.

Q2. What are the main capabilities and key features of Vision 60?

Vision 60 features four-legged locomotion enabling traversal of rocks, sand, stairs, and steep terrain. The system includes multiple RGB and depth cameras for 360-degree environmental awareness, operates in all-weather conditions with IP67 protection, supports autonomous navigation modes including record-and-playback mission automation, and integrates NVIDIA computing for onboard processing. According to Ghost Robotics, the platform can self-right from immobilization and operate fully inverted when necessary.

Q3. Who is Vision 60 built for, and which industries can benefit from it?

Vision 60 targets defense, homeland security, and enterprise applications. According to the manufacturer, intended users include military and law enforcement for tactical operations, industrial facilities for infrastructure inspection, and organizations requiring autonomous reconnaissance in hazardous environments such as contaminated sites or extreme terrain.

Q4. Is Vision 60 a commercial product or still a research prototype?

Vision 60 is a commercially available product. Ghost Robotics markets it as a mature platform with modular design for field repairs and multiple autonomy modes, indicating production-ready status rather than experimental development.
