“AMP was engineered to be autonomous from the ground up, giving us invaluable freedom to make electrical and mechanical design decisions that would best complement the autonomy software. We made it all-electric because that allowed us to develop the entire system to achieve better traction, ground clearance, and weight balance, as well as higher torque and precision in both steering and drive systems — all without the limitations of traditional engines and hydraulic systems that have been largely unchanged for decades. In addition, we found that the cut quality is much better because there is no vibration created by an engine or hydraulic system.”
