Ground vehicle autonomy
Hainu is a retrofit kit. It installs on an ordinary second-hand pickup and turns it into an autonomous vehicle - so the cheapest ground robot on the field is the one already parked outside.
Purpose-built autonomous ground vehicles start at around $150,000. That price is the reason a force sends a person instead. Hainu separates the intelligence from the vehicle and sells only the intelligence: sensors, a computer, and actuators on the steering column, the pedals and the gear selector.
Installation is a professional job, done once, by a workshop certified in the customer's own country. The vehicle stays the customer's - bought locally, second-hand, in their own economy.
The vehicle identifies and flags. A human authorises any engagement decision. We do not supply weapons and we do not offer autonomous engagement.
Trigger the field instead of the sapper. Survey and ground preparation on contaminated land.
Continuous patrol of routes that repeat every day, with no crew and no fatigue.
Supply runs and reconnaissance on roads nobody should be driving.
Nine layers, from the sensors to the steering, built from the bottom up.
The full system runs today in simulation. Hardware integration begins when the current funding round closes.
No Hainu has yet driven a real vehicle. When one has, this page will say so, and it will say when.
Hainu is pre-incorporation. Enquiries from component suppliers, certified installers, demining operators and border agencies are welcome.
