1  HUNTER 2.0  Introduction

HUNTER 2.0 is designed as a programmable UGV( UNMANNED GROUND CHASSIS) upon Ackermann model, of which the 

chassis is based on Ackermann steering. Therefore, it has similar characteristics to cars but has more significant advantages on 

Portland cement and asphalt roads over them. Compared to the four-wheel differential chassis, HUNTER 2.0 chassis has a 

higher load carrying capacity and can reach higher movement speed with less wear of structure and tires for long-term 

operation.  Although  HUNTER  2.0  is  not  designed  as  suitable  for  all  kinds  of  terrains,  it  is  equipped  with  a  rocker  arm 

suspension which can pass common obstacles such as speed bumps, etc. Additional components such as stereo camera, 

laser  radar,  GPS,  IMU  and  robotic  manipulator  can  be  optionally  installed  on  HUNTER  2.0  for  advanced  navigation  and 

computer vision applications. HUNTER 2.0 is frequently used for autonomous driving education and research, indoor and 

outdoor security patrolling, environment sensing, general logistics and transportation.

FS RC transmitter is provided (optional) in the factory setting pf HUNTER 2.0, which allows users to control the chassis of robot 

to move and turn; CAN and RS232 interfaces on HUNTER 2.0 can be used for user’s customization.
