AgileX HUNTER SE

HUNTER SE is the entry point to the Ackermann half of the AgileX catalogue: a chassis that steers its front wheels like a car instead of skidding or spinning. That choice costs manoeuvrability — the minimum turning radius is 1.9 metres, where an omnidirectional RANGER MINI turns inside its own footprint — and buys smoother, more predictable travel at speed on hard ground, which is why this style of chassis keeps turning up under outdoor delivery and inspection projects rather than in warehouse aisles. It is a genuinely small machine: 820 by 640 by 310 mm, 42 kg empty, 50 kg of rated payload, with 120 mm of ground clearance to clear speed bumps and kerbs. Two 350 W brushless motors drive it and a separate 150 W motor does the steering; the drive motors are geared 4:1 and carry 1000-count magnetic encoders, which is what makes closed-loop odometry possible for a buyer writing navigation code. Top speed is 4.8 km/h — walking pace, deliberately. The battery is the flexible part. A 24 V 30 Ah pack is standard and gives roughly 20 km of travel on a three-hour charge; the maker also documents a 24 V 60 Ah pack, which charges in an hour and a half. As with every AgileX platform, the deck is bare: the manual lists stereo cameras, lidar, GPS and IMU as things the buyer adds, and the CAN bus is how their computer talks to the chassis. One limitation is stated plainly and should be read before anyone plans outdoor work: the sealing is IP22, which protects against nothing more than dripping water. This is not a machine to leave out in the rain, and the maker also restricts it to batteries it supplies itself. It has been listed in the maker's global store since November 2021.
