Clearpath Robotics

Summary

About

About Clearpath Robotics

Clearpath Robotics supplies configurable mobile bases for research teams building navigation, perception and manipulation systems. Jackal and Husky cover compact and mid-size unmanned ground work, Warthog provides an amphibious high-payload platform, and Dingo, Ridgeback and TurtleBot 4 address indoor development and education. Husky A300 adds a weatherproof chassis and expanded compute and payload interfaces for current ROS 2 programmes.

Each platform arrives with supported drivers, onboard sensing and mechanical or electrical interfaces for additional cameras, LiDAR, arms and scientific instruments. Jackal includes GPS, IMU and an onboard computer for field autonomy, while Warthog carries up to 272 kg and can travel through mud, snow and water at speeds up to 18 km/h. Developers retain access to the ROS software layer and documentation, allowing them to change algorithms and hardware rather than work through a closed fleet system. Clearpath is part of Rockwell Automation but remains focused on research and development platforms distinct from the production-oriented OTTO AMR line.

Events

  • 2025-08-07 - Demonstration - Clearpath demonstrates Hovermap integration on Jackal UGV

    Clearpath mounted Emesent's self-contained Hovermap LiDAR mapping unit on a Jackal UGV and operated it at an outdoor industrial facility. The integration combined Jackal's ground mobility with Hovermap's SLAM-based 3D capture for mapping areas that are difficult to survey manually. The demonstration showed how the sensor package can extend a research UGV into repeatable industrial reality-capture workflows.

  • 2020-04-16 - Demonstration - Clearpath integrates Accerion positioning for precise mobile-robot navigation

    Accerion’s optical positioning system scans the floor while the robot moves, measuring pure displacement to deliver submillimeter-level accuracy and high speed without special floor infrastructure. The system was integrated with Clearpath’s Jackal UGV, which Accerion used daily in its labs for development, testing and customer demonstrations. Accerion’s Jupiter and Triton models support all-in-one or add-on positioning, while its virtual line-following approach lets robots change routes without physically painted lines; the source also cites a U.S. packaging customer using Jackal robots.
