DEEP Robotics: Quadrupeds, Wheel-Legged Robots and Inspection
Assess DEEP Robotics research and industrial platforms, X30 inspection evidence from Singapore, configuration limits, and requirements for dependable payload and site integration.
Company identity and portfolio
DEEP Robotics develops quadruped robots, humanoids and core robotic components. Its official contact page locates the company in Hangzhou, China. This profile treats DEEP Robotics as one supplier across the Lite, X, LYNX and humanoid families. Its inspection applications are relevant to sector buyers, while the company is classified here by its broader legged-robot portfolio.
Research and industrial platforms
The current product navigation includes Lite3, X30, LYNX wheel-legged robots, DR humanoids and joint modules. These are different platforms rather than interchangeable configurations. The Lite3 product page describes development models, motion-control SDKs and perception interfaces, with differences across editions. Select a research platform according to the accessible interfaces and required experiments, then verify the exact sensors and computing supplied.
X30 inspection configuration
The X30 page positions the robot for inspection, investigation and mapping, and publishes X30 and X30 Pro configurations. It lists IP67 protection and an operating range of minus 20 to 55 degrees Celsius, while identifying its parameters as laboratory data. Obtain the selected configuration's documentation and environmental limits. These ratings do not by themselves qualify the complete payload-equipped robot for every industrial atmosphere or cleaning process.
Singapore power-tunnel pilot evidence
A 4 March 2025 supplier report describes an X30-based robot called SPock operating in sections of SP Group's Singapore power-cable tunnels as a pilot. DEEP Robotics says sensors, navigation and software were adapted to the site. The account provides a named application and identifies localisation work. It does not establish universal defect-detection accuracy or realised savings at another facility; planned expansion and forecast labour savings remain separate from the reported pilot.
Payload, inspection data and integration
Define the inspection deliverable before choosing the mobile base. Specify the asset list, camera viewpoints, thermal measurements and reporting format, together with who reviews and acts on findings. Include payload mass, mounting position, power demand and communications. Request confirmation that the robot can reach each inspection point and gather usable data under the site's lighting, obstructions and network conditions. Successful walking alone is insufficient evidence of an effective inspection workflow.
Acceptance and abnormal-operation tests
Use representative routes, stairs and surfaces under an agreed controlled test plan. Count completed inspection points with acceptable data, navigation interventions, missed observations and time required to recover. Include an obstructed route, unavailable communications and a low-battery return scenario. Establish how staff locate and recover a stopped robot and how inspections continue during repairs. Record the software revision, payload configuration and local mapping conditions with each test result.
Commercial and support questions
Does the proposal include sensors, payload mounting, docking and reporting software?
Who adapts perception and navigation to the destination site?
Which development interfaces and data exports are available in the selected edition?
What training, replacement batteries, field service and repair arrangements apply?
Separate the robot base price from mapping, inspection-model development and integration. Ask for a comparable operating reference and explicit support coverage. Regional purchase and cooperation channels do not establish the same delivery or service terms in every market.
