Canonical robot record
Overview
The Scout Mini is a high-speed compact mobile robot from AgileX Robotics, built around a four-wheel-drive chassis with a lightweight power system. It is positioned as a research and development platform suitable for academic, educational, and industrial autonomy projects.
The platform uses four-wheel independent servo drive paired with double-wishbone independent suspension, allowing it to handle uneven terrain and inclines. Buyers can choose standard wheels, which give differential-drive steering, or a mecanum wheel kit, which enables omnidirectional movement.
The Scout Mini provides aluminum T-slot mounting rails for attaching external sensors and kits, communicates over a CAN bus interface, and ships with an open SDK plus ROS compatibility, making it straightforward to extend for SLAM, navigation, and vision applications.
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.

Record changelog
- Weight: 22 kg changed to 23 kg (kerb weight) · Jul 9, 2026
tranche-6 verification (corrected): Manual §1.2 'Kerb weight 23 kg'. Source variance exists (Trossen 26 kg, Generation Robots 20 kg) but the official manual is authoritative; record's 22 kg matches no
- Payload Capacity: 20 kg changed to 10 kg rated / 20 kg max · Jul 9, 2026
tranche-6 verification (corrected): AUDIT FIX: official manual states max load 20 kg (twice, unqualified); 10 kg is the maker-page rated figure. Both kept; numeric = manual max.
- Max Speed: 1.5 m/s changed to 2.78 m/s (10 km/h, current maker page; manual high-speed mode lists 3.0 m/s) · Jul 9, 2026
tranche-6 verification (corrected): AUDIT FIX (note): 1.5 m/s IS a published Scout Mini figure (manual medium-speed max), not pure Scout 2.0 bleed; maker page max is 10 km/h (2.78 m/s), manual high mo
- Height: 249 mm changed to 245 mm · Jul 9, 2026
tranche-6 verification (corrected): Manual §1.2 dimensions 612x580x245 mm (H=245); Trossen docs agree. Generation Robots lists 627x550x252 (alternate measurement); the record's 249 matches no source.
- Battery Life: 120 min changed to 3 h (manufacturer-stated runtime, no load) · Jul 9, 2026
tranche-6 verification (corrected): Official product page headline 'RUNTIME 3 HRS'; Generation Robots also says ~3 h. Manual lists 'Maximum endurance 8 h' (low-speed/idle) and max travel 10 km. The 12
- IP Rating: IP54 changed to IP22 · Jul 9, 2026
tranche-6 verification (corrected): Official manual §1.2 'IP grade: IP22'; Generation Robots and Trossen docs agree (IP22). IP54 is the AgileX Bunker's rating — cross-record bleed.
