About Clearpath Warthog
Warthog is a large skid-steer research UGV designed for mud, snow, loose terrain and shallow water. Its high-torque electric drivetrain and low-pressure tyres carry substantial sensing, manipulation and field-equipment payloads across outdoor test environments.
The platform ships with an onboard computer, ROS support and accessible power and communication interfaces. Mounting surfaces accept lidar, cameras, GNSS, robot arms and custom equipment. Clearpath supplies autonomy packages, integration engineering and documentation for agriculture, mining, defence and environmental research.
