AZAK
AZAK builds the S26, a self-contained in-wheel drive module that integrates an electric motor, gearbox, motor-inverter, motor controller, battery management system and battery pack inside a single 26-inch wheel. Multiple wheels bolt onto arbitrary frames via a QuickConnect mechanism to compose uncrewed ground vehicles, with torque scaling per wheel added. The module is a robot supply-chain actuation/mobility component, not a full robot: it is control-agnostic and supports wireless, tethered, or autonomous control supplied by the integrator. AZAK does not ship an in-house autonomy stack.
