About
About X20
X20 is a 53-kilogram industrial quadruped rated to IP66 for patrol, inspection and emergency-response work. Adaptive gait and traction control allow it to cross stairs, gravel, mud, snow and standing water, clear obstacles above 200 millimetres and climb slopes reaching 30 degrees.
The robot carries up to 20 kilograms and provides two to four hours of operation over distances reaching 15 kilometres. Modular interfaces accept lidar, thermal and optical cameras, gas sensors and robot arms. Onboard perception supports terrain recognition, navigation and obstacle avoidance in substations, pipelines, tunnels and industrial facilities.

Timeline
- DEEP Robotics releases X20 hazard detection and rescue solution
2022-07-26 - Product Launch - The solution paired the quadruped with sensing payloads for tunnels, polluted environments and post-disaster terrain. Remote operators could collect imagery, temperature and hazardous-gas data while remaining outside the danger zone. The configuration extended X20 from routine industrial inspection into emergency-response workflows.
