Taurus UGV

TAURUS is a multi-role Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) that features customisable modularity and mobility through technological integration.
This next-gen autonomous, fully-electric vehicle is a centrally controlled platform that provides decentralised export power,
serving as a versatile tool for surveillance, logistics and material transport, casualty evacuation, disaster relief,
and support for industrial spaces and event infrastructures.
It is highly transportable and towable with regenerative charging on-the-move, optimising the vehicle's energy efficiency.

Key features:

Regenerative on-the-move power hub: Towable with regenerative charging, fully charged upon deployment and able to function as a mobile generator for other assets (e.g. UxVs)
Electric performance: Fully electric all-wheel drive and all-wheel steer with independent drive units, high-voltage supply with range extenders, and up to 20kW DC/AC export power
Wire-driven control (X-by-wire): Platform autonomy, enhanced control capabilities and fail-proof braking using off-the-shelf components
Customisable mobility: Digitalised architecture, ready for insertion of autonomy or other AI modules

Payloads and use cases:

Security patrol / surveillance: Tethered drone, high-res PTZ camera and legged robot to extend the field of surveillance
Casualty evacuation: Personal stretcher and foldable medic seat
Logistics transport: Collapsible logistics rack for resupply
Material handling: Robotic arm with embedded camera, spotlight and force sensors, plus a genset for extended endurance

Specifications:

2,950mm x 2,100mm x 1,100mm, 1,650kg curb weight, 2,650kg gross vehicle weight,
4x4 electric drive, 40km/h max speed, 60% gradient, 40km range (>100km with range extender),
2.4GHz teleoperation up to 1km line of sight.
