Intelligent Manipulator Robot
Mobile Manipulation
The Sarcos Guardian XM robot is an intelligent manipulator offering speed, dexterity, precision, and strength in a compact, lightweight package.
Features
- Six degrees of freedom
- Optimized strength-to-weight ratio
- Embedded intelligence
- Sleek hardware design that can withstand extreme temperatures and environmental conditions (IP66)


Semi-Autonomous & Supervised Autonomy Functionality
The Guardian XM robot is compatible with proprietary Sarcos software and autonomy algorithms, enabling semi-autonomous and supervised autonomous mobile manipulation in structured and unstructured environments.
When human-in-the-loop control is required, the robot can be integrated with Sarcos controllers.
