OVERVIEW
The AgileX RANGER AIR is a compact, programmable four-wheel steering UGV (unmanned ground vehicle) with an 80 kg maximum payload. It is the smallest and lightest platform in the AgileX Ranger family with omnidirectional steering, built for indoor research labs, warehouses, and light outdoor work.
Its omnidirectional steering allows AgileX RANGER AIR to combine the advantages of differential and Ackermann chassis. Compared with a four-wheel differential chassis, it offers higher speed and payload with less tire wear on pavements, and it adds zero-angle steering, making it suitable for a range of surfaces.
Its 24V-30Ah lithium iron phosphate battery lasts up to 6.5 hours without load and 2.5 hours at full load. A CAN 2.0B interface at 500 kbps, a ROS package, SDK package, and rear and top aviation connectors make RANGER AIR ready for further development. LiDAR, cameras, GPS, IMU, robotic arms, and other payloads that can be programmed in ROS or ROS 2 can be mounted and integrated.

AGILEX RANGER AIR FEATURES
- Omnidirectional Four-Wheel Steering: Each wheel steers independently, so the Ranger Air drives straight, turns with an Ackermann geometry, rotates in place, moves diagonally, and moves sideways.
- Reduced Turning Radius and Wear: A smaller turning radius and less wear on the structure and tires make it a capable platform for indoor and outdoor applications.
- Compact Hub-Motor Drive: Four 150 W drive motors and four 50 W steering motors, with no complex transmission, keep the body at 552 × 500 mm.
- Rear Swing-Arm Suspension: Solid tires and a swing-arm design help the chassis keep ground contact on uneven surfaces.
- Open Expansion Interfaces: Aviation connectors at the rear and top provide power (up to 25 A, 600 W) and CAN communication. Reserved mounting holes on top of RANGER AIR hold external equipment.
- Two Control Modes: Use the optional FS remote controller or send commands over CAN. The remote controller has the highest priority.
- Light Status Indicators: Light bars show charging, parking, standby, errors, low battery, and the current motion mode.
- Low-Battery Protection: The chassis warns at 15% charge and cuts external expansion and driver power at 10% to protect the battery.
WHAT IS THE AGILEX RANGER AIR BUILT FOR?
- Research and Education: Test four-wheel steering, kinematics, and navigation algorithms on a compact platform for both indoor and outdoor use, with a CAN interface and ROS package.
- Environment Sensing and Exploration: Mount stereo cameras, LiDAR, GPS, and IMU to collect data.
-
Mobile Manipulation and Embodied AI Research: Use the Ranger Air as a mobile base for robotic arm integrations, bimanual setups, and physical AI research.
-
Warehousing and Light Logistics: Move loads of up to 80 kg in aisles and open indoor spaces where sideways movement helps with positioning.
- Inspection and Security: Carry cameras and sensors along paved or indoor routes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the AgileX Ranger Air?
The AgileX Ranger Air is a compact, programmable UGV with omnidirectional four-wheel steering, an 80 kg maximum payload, a 24 V 30 Ah lithium iron phosphate battery, and a CAN interface for further development. This ROS platform is designed for complex terrain and can be used for academic R&D or industry applications.
How much does the AgileX Ranger Air cost?
The AgileX Ranger Air is priced at $6,000 USD at the InDro Robotics Store. Shipping is DDP (Delivered Duty Paid), so duties and taxes are included at the checkout. Contact InDro for a quote or payment term options.
What are the payload, speed, and runtime of the AgileX Ranger Air?
