According to the report, Ghost Robotics is giving its Vision 60 quadruped unmanned ground vehicle (Q-UGV) human-like dexterity with the new Manipulator Arm built for tough, real-world missions. Lightweight, modular, and top-mounted, the arm lets the robot dog open doors, retrieve objects, handle tools, and interact with its environment, all while maintaining agility and stability.
The report also stated that with six degrees of freedom and a fully backdrivable design, it reportedly delivers smooth, force-sensitive control that mirrors the durability and responsiveness of the robot’s legs. The Manipulator Arm extends to 1 meter (3.3 feet) and weighs 10.6 kilograms (23.4 pounds), allowing operators to perform complex tasks without overloading the robot.
The report also said that its gripping force reaches 11.3 kilograms (25 pounds) and supports a continuous payload of 3.75 kilograms (8.3 pounds) at a 50-centimeter (19.7-inch) reach. The arm was reportedly developed following feedback from the US Army, US Marine Corps, and US Air Force.
In addition to the report, Ghost Robotics has already sold mechanized arm accessories for the Vision 60 Q-UGV to undisclosed customers.
While the US military has no official requirement for Q-UGVs yet, the company expects funding tied to a potential Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) contract in 2026
