Canonical robot record
Overview
The Clearpath Husky is a rugged, mid-sized unmanned ground vehicle designed by Clearpath Robotics for outdoor research and demanding field robotics applications. It combines an all-metal weatherproof chassis with a powerful four-wheel-drive drivetrain so it can operate reliably across rough, all-terrain environments while maximizing uptime in the field.
The platform is built around openness and extensibility. It ships with native ROS 2 support and a suite of documentation, tutorials, and demos, alongside a flexible payload interface that lets researchers and integrators mount sensors, manipulators, and other accessories. This makes it a common base for academic labs and commercial teams prototyping autonomy, perception, and mobile manipulation.
The current A300 generation is marketed by Clearpath as a development platform for physical AI, with configurable wheel and drive options and integrated user power and indicator features to support continuous, real-world deployment.
