Deep Robotics Launches Robot Dog

Robotics company Deep Robotics has announced its contribution to the world of robotic dogs, with the launch of its X30 quadruped robot.

Designed for use across sectors including maintenance and inspection, emergency rescue and fire detection, the company’s robot differs from other models in that it can withstand extreme weather and temperature conditions, with an operating temperature of minus 71 to 131. 

“As a flagship model for the industry, X30’s operating temperature range has greatly increased,” said DongXin Zheng, Deep Robotics’ product manager. “It has been successfully tested in real-world scenarios in temperatures from minus 71 to 131. It has also been vigorously tested at the IP67 protection level, indicating a very high level of tolerance of water or dust ingression.”

In tests, Deep Robotics said the X30 saw “remarkable results” when deployed in fields such as electric power inspection, firefighting and emergency detection, education and scientific research, metal smelting and mapping.

The robot is also being heralded by the company as having “unprecedented” speed and dexterity when climbing steep stairs – being capable of navigating stairs with a 45-degree incline –  and complex terrains, using fusion perception ability to understand and adapt to its surroundings.

“Deep Robotics’ unique fusion perception technology…enables [X30] to rapidly traverse obstacles, navigate open riser industrial stairs in challenging, changing environments, and conduct autonomous inspection day and night in any weather,” the company said in a statement. 

The robot also comes equipped with a real-time monitoring and emergency response system.
