Husky A200

The Husky A200 is a rugged, research-grade unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) made by Clearpath Robotics (now part of Rockwell Automation), designed as an open, customizable mobile platform for academic and industrial R&D. It features a skid-steer drivetrain with four in-wheel brushless motors, an aluminum IP54-rated chassis, 100 kg payload capacity, up to 2 m/s top speed, and native ROS 2 support. The A200 has been widely used as a research testbed for autonomous navigation, manipulation, and sensing algorithms, and has since been succeeded by the Husky A300 (launched October 2024). As a research platform, its autonomy level depends entirely on the software stack deployed by the user; the base platform is teleoperable and ROS-enabled, with autonomous navigation achievable via user-supplied or third-party software (e.g., OutdoorNav).
