Deep Robotics X30 and Lynx: Specs, Price, Who Makes Them

Who Is Deep Robotics?

Deep Robotics (also written DEEP Robotics, and known in China as Yushu-rival Zhejiang Huimian Technology's quadruped line under the Jueying brand) is a robotics company headquartered in Hangzhou, China. It builds legged and wheeled-leg robots for industrial inspection, emergency response, surveying, security, and defense-adjacent use cases rather than for home or hobbyist buyers.

The company's product family spans the smaller Lite3 research platform, the X20 and X30 industrial quadrupeds, and the newer Lynx wheeled-leg series (M20, M20 Pro, M20S, and the smaller S10). Deep Robotics distributes internationally through resellers such as Generation Robots and DEEP Robotics' own regional sites, and its robots have shown up in Chinese state-media coverage of urban patrol, power-grid inspection, and military-adjacent trials.

Deep Robotics X30: Specs And What It Does

The X30 is Deep Robotics' higher-end industrial quadruped, built for autonomous patrol and inspection in harsh outdoor environments rather than for research labs. Standing dimensions for the X30 Pro variant run roughly 1000 x 715 x 470 mm with a weight around 56-59 kg including battery.

It carries an IP67 rating (full dust and water resistance) and an operating range of about -20°C to 55°C, climbs stairs and slopes up to roughly 45 degrees, and can clear obstacles of 20 cm or more without losing stability. Sensor loadouts include front-and-rear 360° LiDAR, a wide-view camera system, IMU/orientation sensors, and connectivity options (Ethernet, USB, WiFi, RS485/RS232, 4G/5G) that let it feed inspection data back to a control center in real time.

Typical missions are unattended patrol routes on power infrastructure, substations, tunnels, and industrial plants, where the X30 substitutes for a human walking a fixed inspection route in weather or terrain that is inconvenient or hazardous for people.

• Weight: roughly 56-59 kg (X30 Pro, with battery)
• Protection: IP67 (dust and water resistant)
• Operating range: about -20°C to 55°C
• Climbing: stairs/slopes to ~45°, obstacles 20 cm+
• Sensors: dual 360° LiDAR, cameras, IMU, 4G/5G connectivity

Deep Robotics Lynx: The Wheeled-Leg Family

Lynx is Deep Robotics' newer product line and a different mobility concept from the X30: it is a wheeled-leg (wheel-leg hybrid) robot that can roll on wheels for speed and switch to legged stepping for stairs, rubble, and uneven ground. The flagship Lynx M20 Pro was pitched as the first medium-sized wheel-leg quadruped built for complex terrain and hazardous environments, and it won a CES 2026 Innovation Award along with an iF Design Award.

Reported figures for the Lynx M20 Pro include speeds up to 5 m/s, stair climbing up to 25 cm risers, single obstacle steps up to 80 cm, slope climbing to 45°, and a stated payload of 15 kg for roughly 2.5 hours over 12 km, with IP66 sealing. Deep Robotics has since iterated the line with the Lynx M20S (higher payload, IP67, up to 9 m/s, AI-assisted terrain navigation) and the smaller Lynx S10, aimed at lighter-weight work in confined spaces.

The wheeled-leg format matters because it trades some of a pure quadruped's rough-terrain agility for much higher sustained speed on flat or semi-flat ground, which is the more common real-world condition for warehouse floors, plant corridors, and paved patrol routes.

• Lynx M20 Pro: up to 5 m/s, 15 kg payload, IP66, CES 2026 Innovation Award
• Lynx M20S: higher payload, IP67, up to 9 m/s, AI terrain navigation
• Lynx S10: smaller, lightweight-operations variant for confined spaces
• Mobility mode: switches between rolling (wheels) and stepping (legs)

Industrial, Inspection, And Defense-Adjacent Use

Deep Robotics markets both lines primarily around unattended or semi-attended inspection: power grid and substation patrol, tunnel and pipeline checks, plant floor monitoring, and post-disaster reconnaissance where sending a human first is slow or unsafe. This is the same category our industrial quadruped robots guide and top robots for inspection guide cover more broadly.

The company's robots have also surfaced in Chinese state and military-adjacent media alongside rivals like Unitree in coverage of urban security patrols and troop-support trials, which is why Deep Robotics gets grouped with the broader "robot dog" defense conversation even though it is not a dedicated defense contractor. If you're specifically researching that angle, our military robot dogs explainer and Chinese military robots overview give the fuller picture across manufacturers.

Treat any specific defense-deployment claim skeptically unless it comes from a named, verifiable source — state media segments showing a robot on camera is not the same as a confirmed procurement contract.

Deep Robotics Pricing: Can You Buy One?

Neither the X30 nor the Lynx line has a published consumer or retail price. Deep Robotics sells through a business-to-business and government channel, and authorized regional distributors list the robots as "request quote" rather than a checkout price, which is standard for this class of industrial quadruped.

In practice, buyers are utilities, industrial plant operators, security firms, research institutions, and government agencies, not individuals. If you're comparing purchase options across the category, our top robot dogs buying guide and robot dog price guide cover what published pricing does exist across the market, including the (much cheaper) consumer-adjacent segment Deep Robotics does not compete in.

How Deep Robotics Compares To Other Quadruped Makers

Deep Robotics' closest comparison is Unitree, another Hangzhou-region quadruped maker that ships both research/consumer-adjacent robots (like the G1) and industrial quadrupeds; see our Unitree G1 review for that side of the market. The practical difference is positioning: Deep Robotics has stayed focused on industrial/inspection and the newer wheeled-leg format, while Unitree spans a wider price and use-case range.

As with any manufacturer spec sheet, treat Deep Robotics' own performance figures (speed, payload, runtime) as vendor-claimed until independently verified in the field, and confirm current model availability directly with Deep Robotics or an authorized distributor before assuming a listed spec still applies to the newest revision.
