Intended use, per the manufacturer
Defence & Homeland Security: Shvana can be effectively used by various divisions of armed forces for: Strategic area monitoring | Border patrol & surveillance | Tactical situations | Explosive detection | Search and rescue operations. Shvana also offers the possibility of carrying EW (electronic warfare) payloads, munitions etc., with advanced target tracking software and image recognition capabilities. Industrial Environments: ... Confined area entry | Hazardous/Corrosive environment inspection | Routine field checks – detecting leaks, abnormal sound, etc | Detecting hotspots | Handling radioactive waste | Fire fighting'Defence & Homeland Security' with armament/munitions wording ('munitions', 'EW payloads'): defense and emergency response. Shvana is described as “Bharat's first ARMED quadruped” for armed forces, a military platform rather than civilian patrol or surveillance. 'Industrial Environments' with 'Hazardous/Corrosive environment inspection', 'Routine field checks - detecting leaks' and similar: industrial and inspection.

Against the field

Each strip holds every robot of this type in the guide that states the figure, one bar per group of values. Further right means a larger figure, not a better robot.

Weight

25kg55.1lbOur conversion from 25 kg. The manufacturer does not state an imperial figure itself, so the conversion has no source of its own.

124 quadrupeds state a weight

Shvana

66 state a higher figure, 53 a lower one. 1 more states exactly the same figure. Log scale: each step along the axis multiplies the value.

Runtime

approximately 120minNote: load condition not stated

104 quadrupeds state a runtime

Shvana

47 state a higher figure, 15 a lower one. 7 more state exactly the same figure.

Max speed

approximately 7.2–18km/happroximately 4.47–11.2mphOur conversion from 2–5 m/s. The manufacturer does not state an imperial figure itself, so the conversion has no source of its own.

113 quadrupeds state a top speed

Shvana

Shvana states a range, not one figure, so it is shown as a band and not ranked against the others.

Notes

The manufacturer mentions only 'onboard computational power', with no chip name, core count, or TOPS figure — not disclosed reflects that vagueness.
