We are the Leaders of Real, Off-Road Autonomy
About us
At Overland AI, we are redefining the landscape of defense technology with our pioneering approach to ground autonomy. We’re not talking commercial trucks and taxis on dirt roads. We’re talking no roads, no GPS, going cross country. Our OverDrive autonomy stack equips ground vehicles with the ability to maneuver tactically and independently across challenging terrains. For nearly a decade, our co-founder Byron Boots, a renowned figure in robotics and machine learning, has collaborated with the US Army Research Laboratory to enhance robotic capabilities for defense. This collaboration, coupled with rigorous testing in the DARPA RACER program, underpins our cutting-edge solutions. Our mission is clear: to transform land operations by delivering the most advanced and dependable ground autonomy solutions to the U.S. Military and Partner Nations. Our technology, capable of operating in GPS-denied environments and under various adverse conditions such as rain, fog, and night, sets new standards in the field. Join us as we continue to advance this crucial technology.

Raw power, honed with skill. Our OverDrive autonomy stack propels a 12-ton vehicle through the most unforgiving terrain, lifting it from deep trenches onto level ground. Breaking through the boundaries of what was thought possible, the tracked M5 drops effortlessly into crevices and over crested ridges, navigating with control that even lighter vehicles struggle to match. This is real ground autonomy: no prior maps, no pre-defined paths, and no teleoperation. Just real-time (1x) video of high-speed, point-to-point navigation powered by onboard sensing and compute.
-
Speed meets strength. The fleet vehicle attacks dirt and rocks head-on across open stretches of land that invite incredible bursts of acceleration and sustained pace. Pure, unrestrained speed is achieved through our OverDrive autonomy stack. Advanced planning determines the precise sequence of actions required to tackle scattered rocks and dusty trails, while highly responsive drive-by-wire technology delivers steering and throttle for peak performance. This is real ground autonomy: no prior maps, no pre-defined paths, and no teleoperation. Just real-time (1x) video of high-speed, point-to-point navigation powered by onboard sensing and compute.

Our autonomy is engineered for the unpredictable. This tracked M5 surges ahead to extend its lead, kicking up clouds of dust as it bounds over uneven terrain with ditches and debris. With our OverDrive autonomy stack, the 12-ton vehicle faces a sharp turn into a ditch, terrain that continually threatens to unbalance. It tilts into a lopsided angle yet rides through effortlessly to maintain stability. This is real ground autonomy: no prior maps, no pre-defined paths, and no teleoperation. Just real-time (1x) video of high-speed, point-to-point navigation powered by onboard sensing and compute.

Our autonomy isn’t just advanced. It’s effortless. This fleet vehicle weaves its way through intricate passageways of trees and dense bushes. There is no GPS and no direct human control. With deft maneuvers and superior agility, our OverDrive autonomy stack threads the needle, navigating obstacles with ease. Its planning capabilities power the vehicle to the open horizon, where it accelerates ahead. This is real ground autonomy: no prior maps, no pre-defined paths, and no teleoperation. Just real-time (1x) video of high-speed, point-to-point navigation powered by onboard sensing and compute.

Movement at this scale requires precision in motion. A POV perspective of this twelve-ton, uncrewed vehicle puts you right in the thick of it. Through burnt golden brush, broken trees, and terrain that would stop others in their tracks. Only our OverDrive autonomy stack enables relentless movement in a machine this heavy. The cost map exposes the tightly packed hills that threaten to throw off balance, while telemetry data reveals the extreme roll and pitch that could overturn vehicles far smaller. This is real ground autonomy: no prior maps, no pre-defined paths, and no teleoperation. Just real-time (1x) video of high-speed, point-to-point navigation powered by onboard sensing and compute.

Unleashing unbridled speed, precision, and control. We have redefined ground autonomy with our OverDrive autonomy stack so that uncrewed fleet vehicles dominate the toughest natural terrain. They surge over grassy moguls, fallen logs, and rugged valleys. Every movement is a calculated response to the environment to maintain stability and momentum. From weaving through dense forests to powering across open ground, OverDrive turns the most challenging terrain into a tactical advantage by unlocking freedom of movement where others are constrained. This is real ground autonomy: no prior maps, no pre-defined paths, and no teleoperation. Just real-time (1x) video of high-speed, point-to-point navigation powered by onboard sensing and compute.

Wait for the drop! Watch our OverDrive ground autonomy stack make short work of steep, dusty, and rocky hills. Our advanced control algorithms enable uncrewed vehicles to anticipate terrain, adapt movement, and optimize behavior. Loose dirt and shifting rocks threaten traction, but the 12-ton uncrewed vehicle is able to maintain control on precipitous slopes. This is real ground autonomy: no prior maps, no pre-defined paths, and no teleoperation. Just real-time (1x) video of high-speed, point-to-point navigation powered by onboard sensing and compute.

Military operations take place in the harshest conditions, distinguished by obstacles and unpredictable threats. Our ground autonomy is reliable and resilient, engineered to navigate the most challenging environments. Rugged, semi-arid landscapes present natural obstacles that push robotic systems to their limits. Rocky outcroppings, thick vegetation like oak trees and tangled underbrush, fractured hills, and loose, sandy soil. Success demands autonomy that delivers durability, off-road agility, and intelligent real-time planning. Watch as our OverDrive autonomy stack navigates some particularly complex terrain in central Texas. This is real ground autonomy: no prior maps, no pre-defined paths, and no teleoperation. Just real-time (1x) video of high-speed, point-to-point navigation powered by onboard sensing and compute.

We post a lot of content showing our autonomous vehicles negotiating difficult terrain. But often the videos don't capture just how insane the terrain actually is. Take a look as a 12 ton tracked vehicle uses OverDrive to autonomously cross a ditch in the road. No big deal. Then take a look at a photograph of the actual ditch in the comments. This is real off-road autonomy: no prior maps, no pre-defined path, no teleoperation. Just realtime (1x) video of high-speed point-to-point navigation using onboard sensing and compute.
