About
Ghost Robotics is a robotics company specializing in quadrupedal unmanned ground vehicles (Q-UGVs) for defense, government, and commercial applications. Their flagship product, the Vision 60, is a highly adaptable legged robot engineered to conquer virtually any terrain—from military bases and disaster zones to construction sites and oil fields. The Vision 60 features unstoppable agility through its four-legged design, enabling it to traverse rough terrain, recover from falls, and even operate inverted. Its modular architecture allows field-replaceable legs and swappable payloads, maximizing operational uptime. Out-of-the-box Wi-Fi and LTE connectivity, plus integration with advanced radio systems (Silvus, Persistent Systems, Rajant), ensures seamless communication in remote or contested environments. Ghost Robotics robots are deployed across a wide range of missions: perimeter security at U.S. Air Force bases, disaster response alongside Japan's Ground Self-Defense Force, construction site safety monitoring, and law enforcement support. Their AI-powered autonomous navigation enables robots to traverse unknown urban and rural environments without constant human control. The platform is purpose-built for enterprise and government customers requiring high reliability, ruggedization, and mission adaptability. Ghost Robotics serves defense agencies, public safety organizations, industrial operators, and educational institutions seeking to reduce human risk and increase operational efficiency through intelligent autonomous robotics.
