Warthog, the land drone that enjoys mud

You’ve already explored forests, plains and stony paths, now you can tackle marshes, ponds and large puddles. Clearpath Robotics ' Warthog is a 100% waterproof mobile robot of a heavy-duty steel and aluminium design suitable for all types of terrain. Capable of travelling at 18 km/h on dry ground, it can maintain a speed of 4 km/h once in the water

Measuring 1.5 m in length, 1.3 m wide and weighing some 600 kg, this unmanned vehicle is quite a hulk. You can load up to 272 kg of various equipment on its platform.

And to help it crawl around with ease, the Warthog’s designers have given it a comfortable ground clearance of over 25 cm. Who knows what its next mission will be!

A Clearpath “ROS Ready” mobile robot

With so many mechanical strengths, it would’ve been a shame to not be able to use this super-powerful drone to its full capacity. Which is why its on-board computer includes a pre-installed and configured ROS. Its open-source environment gives you access to a multitude of documents and project examples. And for an even richer experience, it offers a whole range of customisation possibilities:

  • You can configure multiple I/Os (Ethernet, WiFi, USB, remote control) to surf the different control modes
  • There are a multitude of accessories you can mount on the platform: LiDAR range finder, GPS module, robotic arm, etc.

Application Examples with the Warthog UGV

Nitrogen Management in Orchards

The Warthog UGV is currently being used in a project led by Washington State University (Center for Precision & Automated Agricultural Systems) aimed at optimizing nitrogen management in orchards

The team has equipped the UGV with Stereolabs ZED2 and Intel RealSense cameras, as well as UR5e robotic arms. 

The robotic platform can thus map tree growth and precisely apply the necessary amount of nitrogen, reducing environmental impact and improving fruit quality.

Autonomous Waste Management

The Autotrans project has deployed Warthog robots for autonomous waste management: picking up and transporting garbage bags from a collection point to a deposit. This is done in an open, changing, and uncontrolled environment (no need for beacons, AprilTags, or human intervention). 

The Warthog offers excellent stability and high load capacity, crucial for mounting robotic arms like the UR10. 

Its large platform also allows for the installation of numerous sensors and actuators (SICK LiDAR, arms, controller, PC, collection bin, etc.).
