DESCRIPTION
Ultra Mobile Vehicle is a Ground from RAI Institute. It is built for Inspection, Transport.
Ultra Mobile Vehicle is a next-generation experimental wheeled robot created by the RAI Institute, representing the organization’s vision for ultra-agile, high-performance robotic mobility inspired by human athletic ability. First introduced in 2025, the robot has evolved through research iterations, with the current generation focusing on dynamic balance, jumping capability, and reinforcement learning-based control. Unlike single-purpose industrial robots, Ultra Mobile Vehicle is designed to operate in complex and unstructured environments, performing highly dynamic tasks such as jumping, flipping, and navigating extreme terrain that traditionally require human-level coordination. Its development reflects a broader industry shift toward general-purpose robotics, where adaptability, learning capability, and dynamic physical intelligence are prioritized over rigid automation.
FEATURES
- Two-wheeled self-balancing robotic system
- Capable of:
- Jumping onto obstacles
- Front flips & tricks
- Wheelies and hopping
- No traditional gyroscope-based balancing (AI-based control)
- Learns behaviors via reinforcement learning
- Combines efficiency of wheels with agility of legged robots
