Husky
Clearpath Husky is a mid-size robot designed for research. Due to its design, it can move even in very difficult terrain, such as mud, or overcome steep obstacles. Husky can lift up to 75 kg of load, allowing students to mount virtually any sensors or a small manipulator. Its open architecture and a wide range of sensors make it a perfect solution for many research projects. The manufacturer has adapted this platform to work with ROS and Gazebo, making it easy to simulate, program and control.
