DEEP Robotics

DEEP Robotics (Hangzhou Yunshenchu Technology), founded in 2017 by Zhejiang University roboticists Qiuguo Zhu and Chao Li, built its name on rugged Jueying and Lynx quadruped 'robot dogs' used for substation, tunnel, and power-line inspection with partners such as State Grid and China Southern Power Grid. It unveiled its first bipedal humanoid, DR01, at the 2024 World Robot Conference and followed with the DR02 — which it bills as the world's first full-size humanoid with a whole-body IP66 waterproof and dustproof rating. In early October 2026 the company ran a batch of DR02 units as traffic-support and tourist-guidance robots on rainy streets in Hangzhou's West Lake district — a field test of outdoor, all-weather duty rather than a routine deployment.
