Hunter 2

Overview

The AgileX Hunter 2 is a medium-duty tracked ground robot with a 150 kg payload on a 65 kg tracked platform, positioned between the smaller Scout series and the heavier BUNKER in AgileX's mobile robot range. Its tracked drive configuration provides reliable traction on loose and uneven terrain while the 150 kg payload capacity supports substantial research and inspection payloads including robotic arms, sensor arrays, and power systems.

At $12,900, the Hunter 2 offers tracked outdoor capability at a price point considerably below the Clearpath Warthog, making it accessible to university departments and SME robotics companies that need genuine off-road performance without the budget for premium Western-branded platforms.

Key Specifications

• Payload: 150 kg
• Platform weight: 65 kg
• Price: $12,900
• Drive: Tracked differential
• Software: ROS-compatible

Use Cases

Hunter 2 is well suited to pipeline inspection, agricultural monitoring, construction site inspection, and search-and-rescue research where tracked mobility provides an advantage over wheeled platforms. UK universities and spin-out companies in the agricultural robotics and utilities inspection sectors are natural users.

The high payload relative to price makes Hunter 2 attractive for research groups that need to carry multiple sensors and a significant onboard computing payload without the cost of premium alternatives.

Buying Used

A limited secondary market exists through AgileX distributors in Europe and occasional research lab disposals. Track condition is the most important inspection point for used Hunter 2 units, as track replacement is a significant maintenance cost on tracked platforms.

Alternatives to Consider

AgileX BUNKER provides a lower-profile tracked option at a higher price with a heavier build focused on very rugged terrain rather than high payload. Clearpath Husky offers wheeled outdoor mobility with superior ecosystem support, a larger community, and more pre-built ROS packages at a similar price point, making it the first choice for buyers who can work with a wheeled platform. For buyers needing amphibious capability across water obstacles, Clearpath Warthog is the premium option and the only commercially available amphibious UGV in this category. Research groups should carefully assess whether the tracked advantage of Hunter 2 justifies the trade-off against the broader software and community support of Clearpath's wheeled platforms before committing.
