Overview

A small, all-electric sibling of Vision 60 that Ghost Robotics pitched as an affordable university research platform and for swarm, ISR and subterranean work. It shares Vision 60's electronics, control stack and SDK, can crawl, crab, leap 0.3 m gaps and self-right, and runs about 2 hours of continuous walking. Ghost's earlier Minitaur filled the same research niche, and the company has since focused on Vision 60.
