AgileX HUNTER 2.0

HUNTER 2.0 is the AgileX chassis for people who need a robot that behaves like a vehicle. Where SCOUT turns in place on four-wheel differential drive, HUNTER steers its front wheels through an Ackermann linkage and needs a 1.6 m turning circle — the same kinematic model as a car, which is exactly why autonomous-driving groups buy it. Control algorithms written for this chassis transfer to real vehicles; algorithms written for a differential base do not. It is also the load carrier of the mid-range line. The chassis weighs 65 to 70 kg depending on battery and takes 150 kg of payload, three times what the SCOUT deck is rated for. Two 400 W brushless motors drive it, and a separate 400 W brushless motor handles steering; braking is by power-off electromagnetic brake, so the machine stops when it loses power rather than free-rolling. Battery is the main configuration choice: 24 V 30 Ah gives about 20 km of range on a three-hour charge, 24 V 60 Ah about 40 km on six hours. Runtime is quoted at up to eight hours either way. Ground clearance is 100 mm and maximum gradient 10 degrees — noticeably less capable off-road than SCOUT, which is the trade for the road-like steering and the front non-independent suspension. As with the rest of the range, nothing sits above the deck. There is a CAN interface for host control, an optional 2.4 GHz transmitter with about 200 m of range — twice SCOUT's — and no sensors, compute or autonomy in the box. IP22 and −10 to 40 °C put it in the same fair-weather bracket as its siblings. One caveat on the published figures: the manual gives maximum speed as „1.5 km/h”, using the same unit as the SCOUT manual, while the maker's product pages express chassis speed in metres per second. 1.5 m/s is the reading consistent with the drivetrain.
