Deep Robotics

Product families

• Lite3 – a 12–13.5 kg research quadruped offered in Basic, Venture, Pro, and LiDAR builds, with ROS2-ready interfaces and open SDKs for locomotion, perception, and reinforcement-learning studies. Typical endurance is 1.5–2 hours with ~5 km per charge (variant-dependent). 

• X20 – an industrial platform (~53–57 kg) built to IP66 with 2–4 hours endurance, ~15 km range (no load), and 20 kg standard payload. It supports RTK/GNSS, 5G, robotic arms, gimbals, and autonomous docking. 

• X30 / X30 Pro – a higher-end, IP67-rated quadruped around 56 kg with increased perception density and 2.5–4 hours operation for autonomous patrols and inspection (e.g., utility tunnels).

Modularity and expansion

Across models, DEEP provides mounting rails, power taps, and data interfaces (Ethernet, USB, CAN) to host LiDAR, depth/RGB/Thermal cameras, robotic arms, and RTK modules. The X30/X20 platforms are frequently shown with multi-LiDAR fusion, dual-spectrum gimbals, and auto-charge docks for 24/7 duty cycles. 

Environmental robustness

Industrial models are marketed as all-weather machines: IP66 (X20) and IP67 (X30) ingress protection, operation from roughly -20 °C to +55 °C, ≥ 20 cm step clearance, and ≤ 45° slopes (model-dependent). These specs target rain, dust, puddles, low light, and confined spaces typical of substations and cable tunnels.

Perception and navigation

For industrial inspection, DEEP integrates multi-LiDAR SLAM, RGB/thermal imaging, RTK options, and flash/low-light handling. The X30 power-inspection solution describes a workflow from data collection → backend access → analytics → report generation → defect alerts, minimizing on-site human exposure. 

Software and developer ecosystem

Lite3 exposes ROS/ROS2 packages, motion control SDKs, and perception APIs; higher-end models ship with industry applications (mapping, patrol routes, anomaly detection) and support hot-swap batteries and auto-docking for near-continuous runs. 

Applications and Use Cases

Power & utilities inspection

DEEP’s systems are promoted for cable tunnel, substation, and plant patrols, navigating stairs, puddles, and narrow corridors while collecting thermal and visual data and syncing to enterprise platforms for review and alarms. 

Public safety and security

Solution briefs show X20 configured with sirens, beacons, dual-spectrum gimbals, and two-way audio for perimeter patrols and incident response in complex terrain. (Capabilities and payloads vary by buyer policy and local law.) 

Disaster response and inspection

The X20 is positioned for hazard detection in collapsed or flooded areas, stepping over ~20 cm obstacles and climbing ~30–35° slopes to inspect sites that are unsafe for humans.

Research & education

Lite3 targets universities and labs as a mid-weight, affordable quadruped for locomotion, SLAM, and RL research, with open interfaces to cameras and LiDAR for rapid prototyping.

Advantages / Benefits

• Industrial hardening: IP-rated enclosures, long endurance, and obstacle/slopes specifications address real utility and infrastructure settings.

• Modular perception & power: Multi-sensor fusion (LiDAR + RGB/thermal), RTK, and auto-charging docks support continuous operations and scalable fleets. 

• Developer-ready stack: ROS/ROS2 and motion/perception SDKs shorten time-to-first-mission for labs and integrators. 

• Solution workflows: Documented patrol/inspection pipelines (X30) move beyond “robot as a gadget” toward data-driven maintenance and compliance reporting. 

FAQ Section

What is DEEP Robotics?

DEEP Robotics is a robotics company that designs quadruped robots for industrial inspection, public safety, research, and education, including the Lite3, X20, and X30 platforms.

How do DEEP Robotics quadrupeds work?

They combine legged locomotion with multi-sensor perception (LiDAR, RGB/thermal, RTK) and autonomy stacks for navigation, mapping, and anomaly detection; enterprise workflows handle data upload, analytics, and reports. 

Why are DEEP Robotics platforms important?

They translate legged mobility into practical, all-weather inspection—handling stairs, puddles, and debris—reducing human exposure and enabling consistent, auditable patrols in power and infrastructure sites. 

What are the benefits of Lite3 vs. X-series?

Lite3 offers lower cost and open SDKs for labs; X20/X30 add IP66/IP67 protection, longer endurance, higher payloads, and industry workflows (e.g., power tunnel inspection, public safety patrol).

Summary

DEEP Robotics has evolved from showcasing agile “robot dogs” to fielding industrial-grade, IP-rated quadrupeds that integrate autonomy, sensors, and inspection software for real facilities. With Lite3 for research and X20/X30 for enterprise patrols, the company addresses a spectrum from education to 24/7 infrastructure monitoring. Documented inspection workflows, modular perception, and resilient mechanics position DEEP as a prominent supplier in the legged-robotics for industry segment.
