The Vision 60 Q-UGV, is a mid-sized high-endurance, agile and durable all-weather ground drone for use in a broad range of unstructured urban and natural environments for military, CBRNE, homeland and enterprise applications.
The Vision 60 not only manages unstructured terrain well, but is built for demanding customers in demanding environments. Ghost Robotics Q-UGVs are faster, more durable, have greater endurance, simpler to integrate, and far easier to support versus their competitors.
The Vision 60 is unstoppable, with the ability to get right back up from any slip, fall, or failure and keep moving using Ghost Robotics's proprietary blind-mode operation. It has too, because the Vision 60 is designed and built to keep humans and K9s out of harm’s way.

The V60 Q-UGV uses a standard drive-train with no exotic motors. It requires no leg force sensors or vision sensors to move across unstructured environments, allowing it to explore further, move faster, and recover after falls and other failures. When used in conjunction with safeguard avoidance and vision sensors, blind- mode allows for safer and more robust stability.
The Vision 60 supplies the legs so you can create a mobile IoT solution to sense and capture data, a moving mesh node to enhance communications, or extend your arms as remote manipulation system.
Users and partners can leverage Ghost’s robust SDK to build applications, integrate any sensor, radio or electronics using industry standard ROS/ROS2 framework, or go deep into our ARM controller and build your own behaviors with C/C++.
The heart of the V60 is a computationally efficient control core, with the entire robot running on an ARM microcontroller, making it highly secure and very efficient. The robot can operate up to 9.6 km (6.0 miles) on a single charge with full 360 sensors activated.
With Ghost Robotoics new IP65 ^ AgileCharge wireless charging pad can make autonomous inspection and security solutions a reality.
