About
About Deep Robotics
Deep Robotics builds several locomotion architectures around field inspection and development. Lite3 is an open quadruped platform with ROS 2 and optional NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX compute; X30 is a sealed industrial quadruped rated for IP67 operation, temperatures from −20°C to 55°C and stairs up to 45 degrees. The Lynx line adds wheels to articulated legs, allowing the robot to roll efficiently and still climb obstacles or negotiate broken terrain.
Lynx M20 carries up to 15 kg, clears obstacles of around 80 cm and combines a 96-line LiDAR with onboard navigation. Lynx S10 targets lighter autonomous inspection, while X30 has been deployed in Singapore power tunnels with thermal and high-resolution cameras. Deep Robotics supplies SDKs and sensor interfaces so customers can add inspection payloads, autonomy and application software. The range therefore spans accessible research hardware through hardened machines for utilities, emergency response and remote industrial sites.
