Husky A200
Clearpath HuskyThe Husky A200 is a rugged, research-grade unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) made by Clearpath Robotics (now part of Rockwell Automation), designed as an open, customizable mobile platform for academic and industrial R&D. It features a skid-steer drivetrain with four in-wheel brushless motors, an aluminum IP54-rated chassis, 100 kg payload capacity, up to 2 m/s top speed, and native ROS 2 support. The A200 has been widely used as a research testbed for autonomous navigation, manipulation, and sensing algorithms, and has since been succeeded by the Husky A300 (launched October 2024). As a research platform, its autonomy level depends entirely on the software stack deployed by the user; the base platform is teleoperable and ROS-enabled, with autonomous navigation achievable via user-supplied or third-party software (e.g., OutdoorNav).

Evidence-graded claims from the Clearpath Husky deep report
The Husky A300 is a fully commercial, shipping product — not a prototype or pilot — actively sold through distributors.
Third-party distributor Level Five Supplies [4] and mybotshop [3] list the A300 with published specs and pricing-on-enquiry, and the trade press [9] reported its commercial announcement on October 15, 2024, confirming it is a shipping product — though actual sales volumes remain undisclosed.

Husky A300 carries a 100 kg payload at up to 2.0 m/s — double the A200's speed and a 33% payload increase over the A200's 75 kg.
Specs are consistent across Clearpath's own site [1], a distributor listing [4], and a trade-news announcement [9], but all trace back to vendor-supplied data; no independent third-party test or teardown confirms these figures in the field.
from Clearpath Husky deep report →The Husky Observer variant integrates RTK GPS (≤5 cm accuracy), 16-channel 3D LiDAR (100 m range, ±3 cm), PTZ camera (1080p, 31× optical zoom, IR 400 m), and wireless charging (up to 300 W) for inspection use cases.
The Robot Report [10] independently covered the Husky Observer announcement and confirms its existence as a product, but the specific sensor specs cited derive from Clearpath's own product page [6] and have not been independently benchmarked or validated.
from Clearpath Husky deep report →The Husky A300 is designed for all-terrain operation including rocks, hills, mud, sand, and inclement weather, with a 30° max climb grade and IP54 weather resistance.
Clearpath's official site [1] and distributor listings [4] consistently state these terrain and IP54 specs, but no independent field test, customer report, or third-party review has verified sustained all-terrain performance or confirmed the IP54 rating through testing.
from Clearpath Husky deep report →Clearpath's PartnerBot Grant Program (established 2012, 2024 edition) awards Husky A300 Starter Kits and A300 AMP units to academic and developer applicants, indicating meaningful research-community deployment.
Clearpath's own blog [8] and a trade publication [12] both report the 2024 grant program, confirming it exists, but neither independently verifies how many units have been awarded, to whom, or what research outcomes have resulted.
from Clearpath Husky deep report →
Clearpath Robotics has received $14 million in funding.
A single low-confidence news aggregator mention [11] cites $14M with no round date, investor names, or corroborating source; furthermore, Clearpath is now a Rockwell Automation subsidiary, making a standalone funding figure largely immaterial and unverifiable.
