About Ghost Robotics

Ghost Robotics is a Philadelphia company, founded in 2015 as a University of Pennsylvania spin-out, that builds quadrupedal unmanned ground vehicles (Q-UGVs) for defence, public-safety and industrial users. Its flagship Vision 60 is a mid-size legged robot designed to traverse terrain that stops wheeled vehicles — stairs, rubble, mud and snow — using a proprietary blind-mode locomotion controller that keeps it moving when cameras are obscured or it slips and falls. The platform is modular: field-replaceable legs, IP67 sealing, multi-hour endurance and options for sensor, communications and manipulator payloads, with out-of-the-box Wi-Fi and LTE and integration for tactical radios.

Vision 60 robots have been deployed for perimeter security at US Air Force bases, tested by the Department of Homeland Security, and used in construction monitoring, infrastructure inspection and earthquake search-and-rescue support abroad. In July 2024, South Korean defence group LIG Nex1 closed the acquisition of a 60% controlling stake in Ghost Robotics for US$240M, valuing the company at US$400M; the company remains based in Philadelphia under its new majority owner. For partners, Ghost offers one of the most field-proven legged platforms in the defence and security market, now backed by a major allied defence prime.

GlobleMatch Trust Signals

A directory that doesn’t sell stars. Trust Signals are built only from verifiable facts — never from anonymous ratings, and never for sale. There is no single hidden score.

Public information coverage	9 of 9 fields on the standard profile could be filled from public sources. This counts how much public information exists about the company — not how good the company is. The nine fields are listed in the methodology. Claiming the profile lets the company complete the remaining fields itself.
Last verified	6 November 2026 — facts on this profile were checked against the sources listed below. Profiles are re-checked on a published 90-day cycle; this date is never quietly refreshed.

Claim this profile to unlock response record, directory tenure and peer endorsements. The full methodology — what each signal measures and how it is calculated — is published in the Trust Signals methodology, including a change log.
