About

About LYNX M20

LYNX M20 is Deep Robotics’ wheel-legged mobile robot for inspection and response across mixed terrain. Driven wheels provide efficient travel on suitable surfaces, while articulated legs help the platform negotiate steps, obstacles and uneven ground.

The robot is offered with sensing and payload options for industrial and public-safety workflows. Traversable stairs, slopes and obstacles vary with load and conditions, while mission capability depends on the installed sensor, communications and autonomy package. M20, M20S and the smaller S10 retain separate variant specifications.
