Deep Robotics
Deep Robotics is one of the world's most deployed quadruped companies, selling the X-series robot dogs for industrial inspection, with a growing line of bipedal robots.
Quadruped Legged X20 Hangzhou
Company Overview
- Founded by Zhejiang University robotics professor Zhu Qiuguo, Deep Robotics was the first Chinese company to field industrial-grade quadruped robots at scale.
- Its X-series robot dogs (X20, X30, X50) perform power-station inspection, emergency response and oil-field patrol, with deployments across China, Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
- In 2024-2025 Deep Robotics expanded into bipedal humanoid research with the Dr. E series, extending its legged-control expertise to two legs.
