The Chaos Robotic Platform

The Chaos™ High Mobility Robot was designed with a unique combination of strength and agility making it one of the premier small robot platforms in the world.
The four independently rotating tracks allow Chaos to “swim” over rocks, logs, streams, and other environmental obstacles that would halt other small robots.

With speeds up to 6.5mph, a continuous load haul capacity exceeding 100lbs, and eye-popping mobility, Chaos is in a small-robot class of its own.

Chaos is an ideal solution for applications like surveillance, EOD, mine exploration, hazardous material inspection, and other rugged and dangerous missions.

Mobility & Flexibility

Chaos’ unique design features four (4) independently rotating track arms that can maneuver it through almost any obstacle. Due to its superior mobility, Chaos has been deployed in mine exploration/inspection operations as well as military operations, and it successfully handles rocky, snowy, wet/slippery, and brushy terrain.

Payload Capability

Chaos can maintain full functionality with continuous loads up to 100lbs and can retain most functionality with payloads upwards of 275lbs. In military trials, Chaos demonstrated its payload capacity by dragging “wounded” soldiers from a mock battlefield. Chaos’ attachment ports can accept a variety of robotic payloads including manipulator arms, cameras, lights, and more.

Traction

Chaos’ low center of gravity, high-traction tracks, and wide mass displacement make it an ideal platform for applications that require climbing grades up to 70%, and up to 40% in all types of weather or terrain conditions. The Chaos platform can also easily navigate stairs, making it an ideal choice for urban and disaster recovery deployment.

Top Speed

With a top speed of 6.5mph, Chaos outpaces other small robot platforms. Combine its speed, agility in rough terrain, exceptional payload capacity, and Chaos becomes a top choice for mining, inspection, security, and military applications.

Range & Battery Life

Chaos is powered by eight (8) military grade, hot-swappable battery banks, giving it 8 hours of continuous run time and a range up to 26 miles/46km. Chaos can accept commands from WIFI-enabled or tethered communication systems.
