About BUNKER MINI 2.0

BUNKER MINI 2.0 is a compact tracked platform measuring approximately 690 by 570 by 335 millimetres. It carries up to 25 kilograms, reaches one metre per second and operates for around 1.5 hours across off-road, indoor and confined environments.

Aluminium T-slot rails support cameras, lidar, manipulators and customer equipment. CAN communication, an open SDK and ROS development resources provide access to drive and vehicle functions. The sealed chassis is designed for dust, water and loose-surface operation.
