Ever wonder what would happen if you combined four 26" all-terrain tires, a solid steel chassis, 48V at 400Ah of power, front axle articulation, and a mean looking bullbar? You get a monster robot. Clearpath Robotics calls it Grizzly.
Grizzly is easily customizable and offers users incredible strength, an unbeatable control system, and front axle articulation that keeps the vehicle grounded and stable on even the most challenging terrain. In combining power and precision, Grizzly defines a new category of robotics, the Robotic Utility Vehicle (RUV).
With 26” all-terrain tires, 400Ah power capacity, four high-power motors, front axle articulation and a maximum drawbar of almost 1700lbf, Grizzly has a likeness of a tractor. Combine those features with high precision wheel encoders, onboard current and voltage sensors, IMU, GPS, and any other sensors you could ask for, and you have a precision machine made to do the heavy work.
