### Background On December 11, 2025, Ghost Robotics, a US quadruped maker controlled since 2024 by South Korean defense group LIG Nex1, launched a manipulator arm for its Vision 60 robot. The all-terrain quadruped, already in service with several US military branches, can now act on its environment, not just observe it. ### Specifications - Six degrees of freedom; 3.75 kg payload at 50 cm; 1 m full extension. - Weight 10.6 kg; grip force 11.3 kg. - IP67 rating (dust-tight, submersible to 1 m); operates from -40 to 55 °C. - Modular swappable grippers; powered by the robot's main battery. - According to CEO Gavin Kenneally, customers install the arm in the field with captive fasteners, with no return to the factory. ### Why it matters Opening doors, retrieving an object or handling hazardous equipment are key tasks for military, security and inspection missions. Vision 60 also serves civilian customers in energy, data centers and construction, who get the same capability. ### Key takeaways Ghost Robotics' military quadruped gains a rugged manipulation capability designed for extreme conditions.
