A compact and robust UGV platform for mobile robotics research
The Jackal is an all-terrain mobile robot designed for teams looking for a reliable rolling base, easy to instrument and ready to use in R&D, higher education or robotic integration. Its compact format makes deployment easy both indoors and outdoors, while its architecture allows the easy addition of sensors, cameras, perception systems or additional computing power.
- Outdoor mobile platform: suitable for testing outdoors and on uneven terrain.
- 4x4 drivetrain: enhanced traction for varied environments.
- Robust aluminum chassis: structure designed for intensive use in mobile robotics.
- IP62 sealed enclosure: operation possible in demanding conditions.
- Operating range: from -20 °C to +45 °C.
- Easy-to-instrument platform: simple addition of sensors, cameras and accessories.
- Available power options: 5 V, 12 V and 24 V.
- Preconfigured onboard PC: quick start with ROS, RVIZ and Gazebo.
- Wireless connectivity: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
- ROS API: for software development, control and the integration of autonomous functions.
The Jackal robot is a consistent working base for projects where the goal is to develop an outdoor autonomous robot without starting again from a complete mechanical or electronic base. Its structure makes it possible to quickly connect external subsystems, access the onboard PC, use the available power supplies and integrate new modules depending on project needs. For a laboratory, an engineering school or an integration team, the Jackal UGV primarily serves as a ROS mobile platform for testing, validation and development in real-world conditions.
Autonomous navigation, embedded perception, outdoor robotics: relevant use cases for the Jackal
The Clearpath Jackal is intended for outdoor mobile robotics projects where mechanical robustness, sensor integration and software compatibility are important criteria. Its main value is to provide an already usable mobile base so teams can focus on application development rather than on designing the vehicle itself.
- Outdoor autonomous navigation: development and testing of motion algorithms in real environments.
- ROS mobile robotics: integration of software stacks with ROS, RVIZ and Gazebo.
- Embedded perception: addition of LiDAR, cameras or other sensors for scene detection and understanding.
- Field robotics research: testing on uneven ground, trails, industrial sites or semi-structured environments.
- Rapid prototyping: validation of navigation, teleoperation, mapping or supervision building blocks.
- Higher education: support for practical work in mobile robotics, ROS and autonomous systems.
In practice, the Jackal mobile robot can be used as a base for work on localization, autonomous navigation, sensor fusion, mapping, teleoperation or robotic inspection. Its open architecture and platform positioning make it a relevant choice for teams that want to integrate their own payloads and develop a robotic system from an already proven rolling base.
