About DEEP Robotics

DEEP Robotics was founded in Hangzhou, China in 2017 and has established itself as a serious competitor in the industrial quadruped market. Where Unitree has pursued volume and accessibility, DEEP Robotics has focused on ruggedisation, reliability, and the specific demands of industrial inspection in challenging environments such as oil and gas facilities, mining operations, and power infrastructure.

The company's Lynx and X30 platforms are purpose-built for inspection work in hazardous and unstructured environments. They feature ingress protection ratings, explosion-proof variants for use in potentially flammable atmospheres, and payload systems for carrying inspection sensors including gas detectors, thermal cameras, and acoustic emission sensors. DEEP Robotics has deployed its platforms with major industrial operators in China and internationally.

The X30 represents the company's most capable platform, featuring a larger payload capacity and enhanced locomotion AI that allows it to navigate the kind of irregular terrain found in industrial plants, construction sites, and outdoor infrastructure. DEEP Robotics has also invested in fleet management software and remote teleoperation systems that allow operators to manage multiple robots from a control room.

Key Products

• Lynx: industrial quadruped for inspection in structured and semi-structured environments; available in standard and specialised configurations
• X30: larger, higher-payload quadruped for demanding industrial inspection and outdoor applications
• Jueying: series of quadruped platforms across different payload and capability tiers

UK Market Presence

DEEP Robotics sells into the UK market through European distribution partners and direct engagement with industrial clients in oil and gas, utilities, and mining. UK deployments have included pilot programmes at energy infrastructure sites. Pricing for industrial inspection quadrupeds typically falls in the £15,000 to £45,000 range depending on configuration and sensor payload, with ongoing maintenance and software support contracts.

Buying Used DEEP Robotics Equipment

Used DEEP Robotics units occasionally appear through industrial equipment brokers and auction houses when operators refresh their fleets. Prices for used Lynx units typically range from £8,000 to £20,000. When evaluating a used unit, check all four legs for actuator wear, inspect the IP-rated enclosures for seal integrity, verify that the explosion-proof certification (if applicable) remains current, and confirm software licence transferability with DEEP Robotics.
