Robot Brief

The Vision 60 by Ghost Robotics is a modular and versatile quadrupedal unmanned ground vehicle (Q-UGV) designed for extreme all-weather and all-terrain use. It weighs approximately 51 kg with 12 electric actuators providing 3 degrees of freedom per leg, and features IP67 rating for dust and water ingress, enabling operation in temperatures from -40°C to 55°C.

Commercial Model:
This variant targets industrial, enterprise, security, inspection, and infrastructure monitoring roles. It is equipped with a comprehensive sensor suite that includes RGB and time-of-flight (TOF) cameras, inertial measurement units (IMUs), and thermal imaging options to enhance situational awareness. The commercial Vision 60 excels in autonomous navigation through complex urban and natural environments using proprietary “blind mode” to maintain mobility even when sensors are obscured by mud, rain, or snow. It supports operations such as security patrols, infrastructure inspections, and hazardous environment monitoring, with a payload capacity of about 10–14 kg. This model aims at improving operational efficiency, safety, and reducing human risk in enterprises.
Military/Defense Model:
The military version of Vision 60 builds upon the commercial base but is customized for defense and homeland security missions. It features integration with secure communication systems, enhanced autonomy for GPS-denied environments, and mission-specific payloads including electro-optical sensors and, in some cases, weapon systems like the Special Purpose Unmanned Rifle (SPUR). These robots are used for perimeter security on military bases, reconnaissance, patrol, and tactical support in unstructured and hazardous terrains. The military Vision 60 has undergone testing and deployment with branches such as the U.S. Air Force and international defense forces. It offers ruggedized chassis modifications, rapid field maintenance capability with modular leg and component swaps, and advanced sensor fusions for increased situational awareness and operator safety.

This distinction enables Ghost Robotics to serve both commercial and defense clients with the same core quadruped platform while tailoring capabilities, sensors, and mission equipment to meet vastly different operational requirements.

Use Cases

All-Terrain Mobility: Navigates rough terrain including stairs, steep hills, swamps, debris, and rocky surfaces where wheeled/tracked vehicles are less effective.
Autonomy & Remote Operation: Supports autonomous navigation using real-time 3D lidar SLAM in GPS-enabled and GPS-denied environments and can be teleoperated via remote controllers.
Blind-Mode Navigation: Proprietary control algorithms allow safe movement even when vision sensors are obscured by mud, rain, snow, or direct sunlight.
Payload Transport: Carries up to 10–14 kg of equipment or sensors for mission versatility.
Modular & Field Repairable: Features quick-swap modules (legs, batteries, CPUs, sensor heads) for rapid maintenance.
Endurance: Operates continuously for up to 3.15 hours moving or up to 21 hours while stationary monitoring with sensors.
Environmental Resilience: IP67 rated for dust and water ingress; can withstand temperatures from -40°C to 55°C (-40°F to 131°F).
Advanced Sensing Suite: Equipped with stereo RGB and time-of-flight (TOF) sensors for obstacle detection, environment mapping, and live video streaming (including thermal imaging options).
Open Architecture: Compatible with ROS/ROS2 frameworks and offers a comprehensive SDK for customization and integration of additional sensors or electronics.

Intro

The Vision 60 is a 51 kg, modular quadruped with 12 electric motors providing 3 degrees of freedom per leg, including 360° articulating two-link legs with replaceable toes. Its chassis supports swapping key subsystems like legs, batteries, CPUs, and sensor heads quickly in the field. Designed for extreme environments, it incorporates high-end computing hardware (NVIDIA Xavier), multiple RGB and TOF cameras, and wireless communications including 2.4 GHz radio and Wi-Fi mesh networks. The robot excels at climbing stairs, traversing steep inclines, wading through swamps, and navigating debris fields. Should it fall or tip, it autonomously recovers, including operating inverted if necessary. Its control system incorporates “blind-mode” to maintain locomotion despite sensor degradation.

Connectivity

Wireless communications: Dual 2.4 GHz radios, 5.8 GHz Wi-Fi mesh, 4G/LTE for robust network connectivity.
Remote control interfaces via dual-joystick Android app.
USB 3.0, Ethernet, MIPI CSI-2, and other I/O for sensor and communication expansion.
