Wheeled robots are quick, quiet and efficient, right up to the kerb, the pallet, the stairwell, the trench. Legged robots go anywhere and spend their whole battery doing it. HOUND stops choosing. It rolls at speed across yard, hardstand and corridor, and when the ground stops cooperating the wheels lock and the legs take over, up the step, over the obstacle, down the stairs, then it rolls again on the far side.
A low, flat, four-legged chassis with a powered wheel at every ankle.
All figures are design targets, not measured results.
Every leg is the same interchangeable module: a disc actuator at the hip, a second of identical diameter at the knee, a sculpted link between them, and a powered wheel at the end. No push-rods, no tie-rods, no springs. Four identical modules means one spare on the shelf covers any corner of the machine, and a leg swap is a field job rather than a return.
HOUND carries what your job needs, not what we decided it should need. The top is a plain flat plate with a flush tie-down rail around the edge. Bolt on a survey head, a gas sensor, a thermal camera, a parts case, a spare battery. Nothing stands up off the deck that you didn't put there. The stop button is red, physical, and on top where a hand can find it.
Wheels locked, legs working · then rolling again at the top.
Status
HOUND is in design. No production unit has been built and nothing on this page has been measured on hardware. The figures are engineering targets and they may move. What we are selling today is a build position, not a machine in a warehouse. We would rather tell you that now than at delivery.
Reserve a build position, or bring your site into the early-access program.
