Hunter 2
Ackermann-steering autonomous UGV development chassis
Contact for pricing
The Hunter 2.0 is an Ackermann (front-wheel) steering unmanned ground vehicle chassis from AgileX Robotics, built for low-speed autonomous driving research and development. Its car-like steering geometry and rocker suspension let it handle uneven ground and obstacles while carrying substantial payloads. It exposes CAN and serial interfaces and ships with ROS/ROS2 drivers, making it a common base platform for integrating sensors and autonomy stacks.

Overview
Hunter 2.0 is an unmanned ground vehicle chassis from AgileX Robotics, designed specifically to excel in low-speed autonomous driving scenarios. Unlike differential-drive platforms, it uses front-wheel Ackermann steering and a car-like chassis, giving it driving dynamics closer to a real vehicle and making it well suited to research that targets road-going autonomy.
The platform pairs its Ackermann steering with a rocker suspension so it can stay stable and maintain traction while crossing uneven terrain and small obstacles. AgileX positions it as a higher-load, lower-wear alternative to four-wheel differential chassis, intended for sustained long-term operation.
As a developer-oriented base, Hunter 2.0 exposes CAN and serial communication interfaces, offers a modular design with aluminum T-slot mounting rails for sensors and payloads, and is commonly integrated into autonomy stacks through AgileX's ROS/ROS2 drivers and SDK. It is sold as a current product through AgileX's sales channel rather than self-service checkout.
