Folker
Autonomous Terrain & Security Quadruped
Folker is a field-optimized quadruped robot designed for long-term autonomous deployment in harsh natural environments.
With a carbon-fiber polymer frame and sealed joints, it operates independently in low-connectivity wilderness with rugged terrain.
Environmental Intelligence
Tracks temperature, humidity, terrain topology, and kinetic activity through onboard multi-modal sensors.
Security & Patrol AI
Operates real-time patrol routes using AI-assisted SLAM and thermal/motion vision to detect intrusion or anomalies.
Autonomy at Core
No remote operator needed. Powered by onboard compute, obstacle detection, and adaptive terrain routing.
Mesh Communication
Connects with other Folker units using decentralized LoRa-based mesh — enabling data relay in blackout zones.
Solar-Powered Missions
Equipped with efficient solar charging panels for continuous multi-day operation with idle recharge capability.
Swarm Terrain Coverage
Multiple units dynamically link into a self-healing mesh swarm, syncing patrols and sharing environment data.
Differentiators
Folker is built from the ground up for remote land autonomy, prioritizing cost-efficiency, off-grid mesh networking, and survivability over general-purpose robotics performance.
