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.

RoboZaps maintains this record as part of its canonical robotics database. Specs are source-verified where linked; the record compares public facts across manufacturers rather than representing a single robot maker.

  • Communication: WiFi, Ethernet changed to Ethernet, USB, Wi-Fi, Remote Control · Jul 10, 2026

    record-surgery-4 verification (corrected): Datasheet communication list: Ethernet, USB, Remote Control, Wi-Fi. Expanded to the full official list (current value not wrong, just partial).

  • Operating Temperature: -20°C to 45°C changed to -20°C to 40°C · Jul 10, 2026

    record-surgery-4 verification (corrected): A300 operating ambient temperature: -20 °C to +40 °C (storage -20 to +60 °C). The 45 °C upper bound matches no Husky surface.

  • IP Rating: IP62 changed to IP54 · Jul 10, 2026

    record-surgery-4 verification (corrected): t5's Jackal-bleed hypothesis confirmed: IP62 is Clearpath Jackal's rating. Husky A300 = IP54 per datasheet, product page and spec-comparison page. (A200 is I

  • Battery Life: 3 hours changed to 4 hours (standard battery; 8 h upgraded / 12 h extended) · Jul 10, 2026

    record-surgery-4 verification (corrected): 3 h is the A200 figure. A300 datasheet average run time = 4/8/12 h for LiFePO4 40/80/120 Ah @ 25.6 V options (33% driving at 2 m/s with 50 kg payload, 67% id

  • Max Speed: 1.0 m/s changed to 2.0 m/s · Jul 10, 2026

    record-surgery-4 verification (corrected): 1.0 m/s is the A200 figure. A300: 2 m/s (4.4 mph) with 1080 W continuous drive power.

  • Payload Capacity: 75 kg changed to 100 kg (all-terrain 50 kg) · Jul 10, 2026

    record-surgery-4 verification (corrected): 75 kg is the A200 max payload. A300: max payload 100 kg (220 lbs), all-terrain payload 50 kg.

  • Weight: 50 kg changed to 80 kg · Jul 10, 2026

    record-surgery-4 verification (corrected): 50 kg is the A200 weight (moves to the A200 record); A300 is 80 kg.

  • Height: 381 mm changed to 372 mm · Jul 10, 2026

    record-surgery-4 verification (corrected): Same correction as core height_mm: datasheet + spec-comparison page = 372 mm; product page 381 mm is the outlier.
