Overview
The Warthog is a large amphibious unmanned ground vehicle from Clearpath Robotics, designed for outdoor robotics research and field work across challenging environments. Its rugged, lightweight steel and aluminum construction gives it low ground pressure and strong traction, letting it handle steep grades, soft soils, and other difficult terrain while remaining capable in shallow waterways.
The platform is built to be customized. Payload mounting plates and accessible power and communication ports let researchers and integrators add sensors, manipulators, and other equipment to suit applications such as mining, agriculture, and environmental monitoring.
Warthog's onboard PC comes with the open-source Robot Operating System preinstalled and configured. Clearpath provides documentation, demos, tutorials, and a 3D simulation model for Gazebo to help users get started quickly.
