Sep 23, 2025 · Deployment · Ghost Robotics · Defence

  • Ghost Robotics said quadrupedal unmanned ground vehicles were used by the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force in the Noto Peninsula after the January 2024 earthquake.
  • The robots were used to deliver small payloads, conduct reconnaissance in unstable areas, and support communications where infrastructure was down.
  • Ghost said the platform's four-legged mobility allowed it to traverse rubble, stairwells, and uneven debris-laden terrain during relief operations.

Ghost Robotics builds rugged quadrupedal unmanned ground vehicles for defense, public safety, industrial inspection, and other field operations. Its core platform is the Vision 60, a modular all-weather Q-UGV designed for unstructured terrain and payload adaptability.
