Overview
What is the AgileX Scout 2.0 Rover?
The AgileX Scout 2.0 is a four-wheel differential-drive unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) built for robotics research, autonomy development, and rugged outdoor experimentation. Each wheel is driven by its own brushless servo motor, and a double-wishbone independent suspension keeps all four wheels in contact with uneven ground, letting the platform cross obstacles and climb slopes that would stop a flat-chassis robot. With a 50 kg payload allowance, aluminum T-slot mounting rails on top, and an exposed CAN/serial control interface, the Scout 2.0 is designed to be a blank canvas that researchers load with their own LiDAR, cameras, manipulators, and compute.
Out of the box the Scout 2.0 ships with an open-source SDK and ROS/ROS 2 driver packages, so teams can command velocity, read odometry, and integrate the base into a navigation stack quickly rather than reverse-engineering a proprietary controller. Its zero-radius, in-place rotation (four-wheel differential steering) makes it maneuverable in tight indoor labs, while an IP22 baseline rating — upgradable to IP44 or IP64 — and a circulating cooling system support sustained outdoor and high-temperature operation. A standard 24V/30Ah battery (upgradable to 60Ah) delivers roughly 150 minutes of runtime per charge.
RobotLAB sells, configures, deploys, trains, and services the Scout 2.0 nationwide. As a reseller and integrator, RobotLAB can pair the base platform with sensors, compute, and curriculum, and provide ongoing support — so university labs, R&D groups, and engineering teams get a working research platform rather than just a crate of hardware.

How it works
AgileX Scout 2.0 Rover in detail
For university research labs
The Scout 2.0 is widely used as a teaching and research base for SLAM, autonomous navigation, multi-robot coordination, and sensor-fusion projects. Its open ROS/ROS 2 drivers, CAN/serial interface, and 50 kg payload give graduate students and faculty room to bolt on LiDAR, depth cameras, GPS/RTK, and onboard computers without modifying the drivetrain, making it a practical platform for higher-education robotics and autonomy coursework.
For outdoor autonomy and perception R&D
With independent double-wishbone suspension, four-wheel drive, a 30-degree slope rating, and the ability to cross obstacles up to roughly 150 mm (unloaded), the Scout 2.0 handles gravel, grass, and uneven outdoor test sites. Combined with an IP rating upgradable to IP44/IP64 and a circulating cooling system, it suits perception, path-planning, and field-robotics development teams that need to validate algorithms outside a controlled lab.
For agriculture and inspection prototyping
The flat top deck, T-slot rails, and 50 kg payload make the Scout 2.0 a convenient mobile base for prototyping agricultural scouting, crop monitoring, and facility-inspection robots. Teams can mount imaging payloads or sampling tools and use the platform to gather field data and demonstrate proof-of-concept autonomy before committing to a purpose-built vehicle.

Questions & answers
About the AgileX Scout 2.0 Rover.
-
What is the AgileX Scout 2.0?
It's a four-wheel-drive, differential-steering unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) built as a research and development platform. Each wheel has its own brushless servo motor and independent suspension, and the top deck carries up to 50 kg of user-supplied sensors, computers, and payloads. It ships with an open-source SDK and ROS/ROS 2 drivers, so it's most often used as a mobile base for autonomy, navigation, and perception research.
-
What are the key specifications?
The Scout 2.0 measures 930 x 699 x 349 mm, weighs 68 kg, and carries a 50 kg payload. Top speed is 1.5 m/s, it climbs 30-degree slopes and crosses obstacles up to about 150 mm (unloaded), and it has 135 mm of ground clearance with a 0 mm (in-place) turning radius. The standard 24V/30Ah battery (upgradable to 60Ah) gives roughly 150 minutes of runtime. Control is over CAN bus and serial, and the baseline IP22 rating can be upgraded to IP44 or IP64.

How much does it cost and how do I buy one?
RobotLAB's price for the Scout 2.0 is $14,190. RobotLAB sells, configures, deploys, trains on, and services the platform nationwide as an authorized reseller and integrator. To order, request a quote, or arrange a demo, contact RobotLAB or call 1-87-RobotLAB.
-
How does the Scout 2.0 compare to the AgileX Hunter 2.0?
The biggest difference is steering and use case. The Scout 2.0 uses four-wheel differential drive and can spin in place (0 mm turning radius), which is ideal for tight indoor labs and general autonomy research. The Hunter 2.0 uses front-wheel Ackermann steering — it moves like a car, so it can't spin in place, but it carries a larger 150 kg payload and is aimed at autonomous-vehicle and car-like-motion research. Choose the Scout for maneuverable general-purpose research, the Hunter for vehicle-dynamics and high-payload AV work.
-
How does it compare to the Clearpath Husky A300?
Both are 4WD differential research UGVs with ROS support. The Husky A300 is a premium platform with deeper out-of-the-box ROS 2 (Jazzy) integration, a higher 100 kg payload, 2.0 m/s top speed, IP54 weather sealing, and very long runtime (8 up to 24 hours). The Scout 2.0 is a more affordable base at $14,190 with a 50 kg payload and IP22 baseline (upgradable). If budget and a flexible blank-canvas platform matter most, the Scout fits; if you want maximum runtime and tighter ROS 2 integration, the Husky is the step up.
-
Does it support ROS and custom sensors?
Yes. The Scout 2.0 comes with an open-source SDK and ROS/ROS 2 driver packages, and exposes a CAN bus and serial interface for sending velocity commands and reading odometry. The top deck uses aluminum T-slot rails so you can mechanically mount LiDAR, cameras, GPS/RTK, manipulators, and onboard compute. RobotLAB can help integrate and configure these payloads as part of a deployment.
-
Is it suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, within limits. Independent double-wishbone suspension, four-wheel drive, a 30-degree slope rating, and a circulating cooling system let it operate on gravel, grass, and uneven outdoor sites in temperatures from 0 to 40 degC. The baseline IP22 rating is light splash/dust protection; for wetter or dustier conditions, AgileX offers IP44 and IP64 upgrades, which RobotLAB can spec for your environment.
